GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo anticipated with a host of these to show good early dash. REYES (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1200m at Funabashi, scoring by one length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he looks certain to measure up again. POPCORN (2) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. JO SOLE (1) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. ICE NOTE (8) was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1200m at Funabashi last time out. Worth noting Tsubasa Sasagawa goes aboard. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Useful type. Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 12 at this track on May 21 over 1400m, 10 len behind Margot Eclat with 54kg at $4.30. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 10 at this track on April 16 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Tosen Energy with 52kg at $1.90. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.
