GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Looks a keen contest with Combat Ange and Marukei Forte pressing for the lead with Gabby's Spirit and Grand Croix close at hand. BLISS TIME (4) scored last time over 1400m at this track, making it two victories from three appearances this preparation. Rates highly and expected to run well again. MEISHO MICHI ROKU (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. GABBY'S SPIRIT (5) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. COMBAT ANGE (2) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths. Shion Sasaki has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. One of the better hopes.

The start before that 2nd of 8 at this track on March 31 over 1400m, nose behind Hakushin Malpensa carrying 56kg at $36.80. Won’t spend a dime in the run from the inside gate. Good each-way hope.
