GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Silfra leading the way. WIN IZANAMI (16) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1400m at Chukyo when she was prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well despite a nine-week break between runs. BELLAGIO WORLD (1) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ARUGAM BAY (18) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Nakayama, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHONAN TAHTI (10) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1400m at Niigata, beaten 3.5 lengths. Worth including.
