GOING: G

Race 7 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting Amuleto to take up the running with Sun Niagara and Pod Jasper close at hand. AMULETO (3) strode forward early from her wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, only to fade late and finish fourth. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. SUN NIAGARA (7) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt when she finished well back. This is her first run for the Hirohito Noguchi stable. Expecting a big run at a much easier level here. POD JASPER (5) finished near the rear last time at Kawasaki in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely. He is worth another chance. LYRA GREEN (6) produced another moderate effort last start out over 1400m at this track. Likely improver, and he is worth including in all combinations.
