GOING: G

Race 8 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Trepak to take up the running with Super Logo and Ichikano Yume close at hand. ICHIKANO YUME (8) displayed plenty of early toe over 1400m at this track last time and dug deep to score by half a length. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be underestimated. EPOCA DEL SOLE (11) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at Funabashi. Fitter for that last hitout and is expected to feature in the finish. POD BELLO (2) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at Funabashi three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Right in this. SUPER LOGO (4) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing ninth over 1600m at Kawasaki last start. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Must be respected.
