GOING: G

Race 6 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Just a moderate tempo headed by View Crest, Derma Prakrti and Kobinai Fountain. SPRING NEIGE (4) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw last start and led for home before finishing second over 2000m at Urawa. Well-placed and could prove tough to run down. LUNAR SOUTH POLE (7) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. VIEW CREST (11) improved sharply with success over 1500m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. DERMA PRAKRTI (10) failed to feature last start, finishing ninth over 1800m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
