GOING: S

Race 5 800m

Track: SOFT      

Never End March and Disruptor to take up the running at a strong tempo. NEVER END MARCH (3) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming last start over 900m at Kawasaki then fought on gamely to finish third. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. VINA BEN TRE (4) got home by half a length last time out over 800m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Leading player again. BORDEAUX TIRAMISU (6) is a 19-start maiden but does look to be edging towards a win, the latest effort an encouraging second at Kawasaki over 900m after being prominent at the bend. In the mix. DISRUPTOR (2) was safely held when tenth last start over 900m at Kawasaki, beaten 11 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. In contention this time.
