GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine pace with Adarmalik taking up the running ahead of Dir Brand and Peptide Sparkle. DIR BRAND (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PEPTIDE SPARKLE (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 15 lengths back in eighth over 1500m at this track. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. LONG BEACH (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1400m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into seventh. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. NAMURA MICK (8) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Well placed to feature in the finish.

At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 9 at Funabashi on June 28 over 1600m, 15 len behind Gold Partner with 56kg at $6.50. The run before that 9th of 14 at Funabashi on June 1 over 1600m, 13 len behind Gold Breeder with 56kg at $6.50. Strong each-way hope with the assistance of the inside stall.
