GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Cerulean Rocket, Signatory and Snow Peacock to take up the running at a strong tempo. CERULEAN ROCKET (11) lines up for the first time since March 13. Winner two back and has started that last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. SNOW PEACOCK (5) remains a maiden after 32 runs but has been close up of late, last time finishing fourth as one of the favoured runners. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. T M LEONTE (8) last appeared a week-and-a-half ago over 1500m at this track when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Maruyama Shinichi stable. Comes here with top-three claims. MEISHO UMIKAZE (9) turned in a fair performance when fifth last time out after a win at this track at the previous outing. Could make amends.
