GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Arcelia to take up the running with Chance Maker and Kuu Lei Nani close at hand. BOLD CHAR (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds another suitable race and can do it again. CHANCE MAKER (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. TELEOS BOS (4) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at Kawasaki. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BIJOUX MEFA'A (7) improved sharply last time out to score by a nose over 1500m at Kawasaki two weeks ago. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
