GOING: S

Race 8 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Pace genuine with Golden Real and Wing Wind pressing hard closely followed by Love Me Monaco and Lever Le Rideau. LOVE ME MONACO (4) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a nose last start over 1600m at Kasamatsu. One of the top chances again. GOLDEN REAL (9) displayed plenty of early toe over 1200m at this track when resuming last time and went on to score by 6 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. BEE UP (6) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. LEVER LE RIDEAU (7) is returning from a spell of six months. Finished fifth at Sonoda over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Takashi Kubosugi, and a close market watch is advised.
