GOING: S

Race 5 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Strong tempo with Cardamom Roll and Sasakin Tomogoro leading from Boncellensis and Bobby. CARDAMOM ROLL (10) went forward last start and gave a great sight when second over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Leading contender and will take catching. BONCELLENSIS (6) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame in two starts, including a win. Last appeared when he got the prize over 1400m at this track on August 4. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. BOBBY (3) finished 1.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at Funabashi a week ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. CANAL GALE (9) launched his career with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
