GOING: S

Race 4 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Hot pace certain with Half Blue, Nac Regalo and Luckenbooth keen to take up the running. NAC REGALO (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. HALF BLUE (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at this track three months ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Can feature. YOSHINO DAISEN (7) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Likely to measure up. LUCKENBOOTH (4) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a third over 1200m at this track on March 28. Takayuki Yano sticks. Can play a role in the finish.
