GOING: G

Race 7 1600m

Track: GOOD      

The pace looks moderate in the absence of on-pace runners. COPANO JACKEY (3) finished fifth over 2000m at Urawa at his most recent appearance on May 21. Should be hard to stop. BOILER HOUSE (4) was below his best last time when ninth over 1600m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. RIKO SEAWOLF (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SMITHSONIAN (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Capable of featuring.
