GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Nobu Nori O, Eifer Jet and Belleza Fin. BELLEZA FIN (9) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job. EIFER JET (2) knuckled down strongly when finished 0.8 lengths from the winner here. Top challenger. WIN ARES (10) started at $5.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1500m. Worth noting Junki Mochizuki goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. NOBU NORI O (7) turned in a moderate effort last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
