GOING: S

Race 7 1500m

Track: SOFT     True  

Off the low draw Palenque is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. ETERNAL VOW (2) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1200m at this track when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Masashige Honda stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Sure to play a big role. COSMO CAPITAO (1) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1500m at Urawa after being in contention on the bend. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. SOLIS REGALO (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1500m at Kawasaki after being prominent at the corner. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. VOLARE (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1500m at Kawasaki. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
