GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Good pace expected with Schweigen, Yuki Hyakubai and Live Baffy paving the way. LIVE BAFFY (5) finished second, beaten a nose, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. GAURA THUNDER (8) saluted at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1500m at this track, beaten half a length. Suitably placed and can feature again. ASK URBAN SEA (3) resumes from a spell of nine months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 2000m at Niigata. Strong winning chance on best figures. YUKI HYAKUBAI (11) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish 11th over 1500m at Funabashi in a disappointing performance. Cannot be ruled out.
