GOING: S

Race 7 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Momona to take charge ahead of Vermogen at a strong tempo. VERMOGEN (3) continues to race well with a win two back at Kawasaki before finishing 1.75 lengths away in third last time over 1400m at this track. Senno Ridge stays aboard. Should be in the finish. ROUGE CAPRICE (1) ran sixth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Has sound form here at this trip with three wins and 13 minor placings from 28 runs. Will prove hard to beat. JUNGLE TACHYON (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 20 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at this track over 1400m. Best is good enough. TAVARUA (5) resumed from a spell with an encouraging third at Funabashi over 1200m and looks nicely placed in this.

Useful type. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 11 at this track on May 21 over 1400m, 4 len behind Yamajun Hibana with 54kg at $17.50. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track on April 18 over 1400m, 4 len behind Hubble carrying 52kg at $5.90. The inside gate brings her right into contention.
