GOING: S

Race 7 1800m

Track: SOFT      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. FRIENDLY MOON (5) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when third over 1800m at this track. Well placed and capable of giving a sight. HATANO LA TOUR (6) led throughout last start to score an effortless 9 lengths win over 2000m at Urawa. Sure to take some stopping again. DERMA PRAKRTI (2) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second. Expected to feature prominently again. KOBINAI FOUNTAIN (12) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
