GOING:

Race 5 1000m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Yamatono Kaze and Flower Stella taking up the running over Sekitei Vivi. STORY TIME (12) has yet to win but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track over 1000m when beaten 2 lengths. Overdue and looks a top chance. COMBAT IZUMO (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1000m at this track. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. SEKITEI VIVI (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at this track over 1000m on April 29. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and should be in this for a long way. FLOWER STELLA (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1000m at this track. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
