GOING: G

Race 5 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Despite the small field Yukuyuku, Resonantia and Heure De L'ange can set a strong tempo. YUKUYUKU (1) will find this a little easier than his third on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 9 lengths at the end of 1000m at this track. Promising type with improvement to come so he should be in the finish again. HEURE DE L'ANGE (5) is on a quick turnaround after a solid third over 1400m at Urawa six days ago. Strong run last time and is expected to go well again. RESONANTIA (4) finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the turn four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. MOKO PUNCH (3) wasn't beaten far over 1200m at this track on debut last start and may appreciate the longer journey. Among the better hopes.
