GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with Letter From Paris leading the way. ODEN RICKEY (6) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish eighth over 1500m at this circuit. Better than the last run and will take running down. LETTER FROM PARIS (2) was in the money two starts back at Funabashi but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth at Funabashi over 1200m after being prominent at the bend. Has the class to take this out. GOLD FLAVOR (5) went forward from the low draw last start and sat on the pace before sticking on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. HINA BONBON (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when finishing in ninth. Well placed to bounce back.
