GOING: S

Race 5 1500m

Track: SOFT     True  

Expecting Good Indeed to take up the running with Radish Dance and Valente close at hand. RADISH DANCE (10) started at $2.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths at Urawa over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. VALENTE (11) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten a neck when fresh from a spell. Likely improver with strong prospects. TATSUNO SPARK (6) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1500m at this track. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. GOOD INDEED (4) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage fifth last time out over 1500m at this track. Fitter and can bounce back.
