GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Bye Bye Darling and Belleza Fin. SHORYU ASAHI (8) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu, scoring by a nose. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. BELLEZA FIN (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. In the mix. BYE BYE DARLING (2) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on March 12 over 1500m when he got home by 0.8 lengths. Can score again. JUN VELVET (9) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when sixth over 2000m at this track. Back in trip and can feature.
