GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Moderate tempo with Benino Rave leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ELKYO (9) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at this track. Sure to run well. AIR SHALLOW (3) missed the frame last start over 1500m at Urawa when fifth. Likely improver with strong prospects. LUCETTA (6) was unwanted in the market when resuming last start at this track over 1400m and finished fourth. Can do much better this time with the run under her belt. SEIUN KOCHO (5) missed the placings when disappointing 11th over 2000m at Urawa. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
