GOING: G

Race 6 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Shigerutsukimizake to take up the running with Sun Thread and Luminaval close at hand. KIMIWA LEMONADE (11) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a head over 1400m at this track to make it two in succession. Has a strong record here at this journey with four wins from 10 starts. Will be hard to stop. SUN THREAD (5) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1500m at Kawasaki, making it three minor placings in a row. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. POWER OF THE KING (8) finished sixth at this track and distance at his last appearance ten weeks ago. Has switched to the Tsukasa Kaibazawa yard. Looks a strong top-three prospect. DAIGO HOMARE RYU (12) improved sharply last time out to score by one length over 2000m at Kawasaki two weeks ago. Likely to be there at the finish again.
