GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Maru Mori Active and Nobu Hendrix taking up the running, closely attended by Future Again and Bordeaux Tiramisu. MARU MORI ACTIVE (5) strode forward early from her wide draw over 1500m at Kawasaki last time, leading for much of the way before fading to finish fifth. Ryo Novata who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. TSUGANO SHOGUN (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BEER BOY (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BORDEAUX TIRAMISU (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at Kawasaki. Solid claims.
