GOING:

Race 6 800m

Track:      

Viva Acapulco and Stella Boulogne can be prominent. LORD SUMMIT (1) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on March 17 over 800m when he scored by 2 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. CAST LIGHT ON (3) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Mai Fukuhara stays aboard. Leading contender. STELLA BOULOGNE (6) turned in a strong run two starts ago at this track then failed to back it up over 900m at Kawasaki last time, beaten 6 lengths into tenth. Record at this shorter journey is sound so should be competitive. VIVA ACAPULCO (9) held on well to finish third last time out over 1200m at Funabashi after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and worth including.
