GOING: S

Race 5 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Good early pressure with Letemps Allure or Alpha Elizabeth likely to take up the running. LETEMPS ALLURE (11) is an ultra-consistent entire who hasn't missed a place in his last eight starts and a five-time winner in the sequence, most recently scoring by one length over 1200m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. KURINO MORGANITE (9) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. VERMOGEN (7) progressed nicely last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1500m at Urawa. Expected to be competitive again. ALPHA ELIZABETH (4) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1500m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Can play a leading role.
