GOING: S

Race 6 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Foggara should spear straight to the front of the small field. FOGGARA (1) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1500m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. RHEIN STRYKER (5) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. WORLD WHISTLER (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has the ability to figure prominently. MAJOR YELL (6) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 16 lengths into 11th at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Reunites with Takayuki Yano who has been in the money two times when aboard. Solid claims on best form.
