GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Ecoro Svar and Proofreader pressing hard closely followed by Tosen Genial and Toma. ECORO SVAR (3) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. QUEEN'S STELA (2) scored an impressive win by 3 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1500m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is among the winning hopes again. TOSEN GENIAL (4) won at this track and distance at his last outing ten weeks ago, the only appearance of that campaign. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has two wins when partnering stays on. Capable of running a bold race. TOMA (6) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a third over 1500m at Kawasaki a week-and-a-half ago. In-form six-year-old entire so he cannot be underestimated.
