GOING: S

Class 5 Handicap 1700m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 12)   True  

Reasonable tempo with Power Band probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. BIG BRIDGE (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. POWER BAND (5) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Jeong Woo Ju sticks and she is worth including. THUNDER STORM (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ROPPONGI DRAGON (9) finished third over 1800m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1800m at this track. Can sneak into the finish.
