GOING: S

Race 7 1400m

Track: SOFT      

Expecting Eri Crown to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TATSUNO VICTORY (7) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Sure to go well. REALISER CITY (9) returns from a spell. Finished third at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep nine months ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. KEI SEVEN (6) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at Urawa on May 21. Better than last start and can feature. COPANO MONTANA (5) is having his first run since April 12. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from three runs, the most recent over 1200m at Ohi at the start of last prep. Solid top-three hope.
