GOING: S

Race 6 1500m

Track: SOFT     Rail: True.  

Looks a keen contest with Win Briller and Guillermo pressing for the lead with Blue Pearl and Nobuo Token close at hand. WIN BRILLER (12) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a neck over 1500m at Urawa. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. THINKING FURSA (7) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten only half a length. Nicely placed to find winning ways. ANOTHER MOON (11) is a 26-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1500m at Urawa. Worth including in this suitable contest. SASUKE CERISE (4) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1500m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
