GOING: S

Race 7 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Strong tempo from Monge Time pressing on, while Bear Tooth and Les Freres boot up underneath. BEAR TOOTH (4) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. LES FRERES (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SAM BAROWS (6) finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. The engagement of Naoki Machida is noteworthy. Likely improver with bright prospects. ANGE BELLE (1) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Capable of another bold effort.
