GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Longing Nice leading from Meiner Bomber and Mozu Yuga. LONGING NICE (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when second, beaten a head. Won three in a row at this track before that. Has ability and draws well so should be right in the finish. SOPHIA CROWN (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1600m at this track seven weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Taito Mori scored on her last time and retains the ride. Another win is not out of the question. MOZU YUGA (9) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a neck last time out over 1600m at this track. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. ESKEN DREAM (2) resumed over 1800m at this track last time out and showed good speed to lead throughout, scoring by a neck. Has a strong record here, including four wins. Not to be discounted.
