GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Tsukuba Maria has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. TSUKUBA MARIA (11) is poised to win after placing at her last five outings, most recently when second over 1500m at this track when she was handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EXPLORE (4) has switched yards since finishing second three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1500m at Funabashi. Likely to play a major role. MEGA MILLION (3) recorded a strong on-speed win last time by 4 lengths over this journey at Kawasaki. One of the main contenders. NATSU HAYATE (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 900m at Kawasaki after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
