GOING: G

Race 4 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Good pace from Any Thunder, Alba Leggenda and Cheat Major. ANGE MELODY (8) resumes after a break of four months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1400m at this track. Best fresh figures put her right in this. ANY THUNDER (13) has really found form lately, easily winning again last start over 1400m at Urawa. Among the leading chances again on recent runs. ORIENTAL BOY (4) was in the firing line on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1500m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. INCROYABLE (7) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when sixth, beaten 8 lengths. Has to be respected.
