GOING: G

Race 5 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Sun Dillon. RYUNO MCILROY (7) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1200m at this track nine weeks ago. Sound record at this distance with two wins and three minor placings from five runs and is right in this. ERI CROWN (3) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 800m at Urawa, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths. Yoichiro Muro is a key engagement. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. ARGYLE PINK (12) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 900m at Kawasaki. Makes plenty of appeal. VIORNA (4) was well beaten last time and finished at the tail at this track but carries less weight today. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and two minor placings from four starts. This looks a nice assignment.
