GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Score has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. UNICO (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 1400m. This is not much harder and she can make it 2 wins on the bounce this prep. SCORE (6) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished well back over 1800m at Niigata. Well placed at this easier level and gets his chance to break the ice. INSANE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Has his share of talent. Each way claims in this suitable race. MAPLE ELGAR (8) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fifth over 820m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Include in all combinations.
