GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Kikuno Cruijff, Earth Grazer and Magnetar can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. AS YOU LIKE (9) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff she finished 11th over 1800m at Hanshin. Looks the one to beat in this suitable race. DELTA FOUR (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well again. EARTH GRAZER (1) is back at the races for the first time since January 14. Scored over 1400m at this track to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect. COEUR ET SUGURI (3) is overdue for a win with three placings from three starts this prep, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track. Must be included in calculations.
