GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Wish Upon A Star probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. IRON O (3) found the line nicely but never threatened over 1400m at Urawa last time out when finishing midfield. Solid record here at this trip winning two races from five tries. Expected to be in the finish this time. HATTORI (7) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1500m at this track. Record at this journey is strong with two wins and a placing from four runs and should be in the finish. THURSTON UTAH (2) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.3 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1500m at this track. Among the better chances. AUSTRALIS (9) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
