GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure. BAM (7) last appeared a month ago over 1600m at Nakayama when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Kazumasa Kaneda stable. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. HEIMLICH KAISER (8) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Can measure up here. SANONO SWIFT (9) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length. Could prove hard to beat in this suitable race. BLUE MERRY (5) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten half a length at $73.30. Can make an impact again.
