GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Off the low draw Fort Portal is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. FORT PORTAL (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.5 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. In form and should go well again. KURINO ECLIPSE (4) was fourth last time out over 1700m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. KURINO VENUS (11) settled well back last start and never threatened when eighth over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Has multiple wins at this journey and can feature here. SECRET MATTER (2) improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track. Nicely placed and rates highly off that run.
