GOING:

Race 6 1900m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Yurari Yurameite and Rikea Macchiato. JUGEMOON (12) was an effortless winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 5 lengths. Stick with him. REVIVE ROSE (10) is back at the races for the first time since February 25. Scored over 1300m at this track to launch the last campaign. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. YAMANO ASHIOTO (2) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by half a length over 1800m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Should be involved in the finish. YURARI YURAMEITE (3) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing half a length away in second over 1800m at this track. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
