GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Virya, Bellagio Umamusuko and Green Theater. VIRYA (4) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1400m at this track last start to make it five straight. Comfortable winner last time and expected to be in the finish again. BELLAGIO UMAMUSUKO (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 32 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. MOZU AKABOSU (5) turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1700m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. GREEN THEATER (1) finished 22 lengths adrift in 11th last time over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
