Race 7 1400m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Kura Reve to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. KURA REVE (1) led throughout last time over 1400m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Drawn to lead again and is likely to play a major role. BELLEEK (6) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 2 lengths win over 1400m at Kawasaki to make it two on the bounce. Has a strong association with Naoki Machida who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Likely to feature. TOSEN GENIAL (12) really dug deep to get the prize by half a length three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Capable of testing this field. DIAMOND KISS (8) finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.25 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. In the mix.
