GOING:

Race 7 2000m

Track:      

G T Rapid and Narino Bogart to bowl along in front. G T RAPID (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 2000m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. IVY GENIE (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 2000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. ROUGE MAAT (6) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 15 lengths from the winner in tenth over 2000m at Urawa. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. NARINO BOGART (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 4.5 lengths away in 11th over 1500m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
