GOING: G

Race 5 1500m

Track: GOOD      

With little in the way of early speed Town Hall may well find the front. TOWN HALL (7) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2000m at Urawa after being prominent at the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. CHIARA BONHEUR (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Urawa. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SHUNRETSU (3) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, at Urawa over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. GARRINCHA (2) finished eighth at this track and distance at his last appearance 12 weeks ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
