GOING: G

Race 8 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Reasonable tempo with Mila Colle Sienne probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. COSMO CAPITAO (10) failed to figure again last time over 1500m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Has enough ability to test this field. MAGIC WORDS (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track. Drifted back on that occasion then quickened impressively to score by 3 lengths. Sure to be tough to stop again. MIZU RULER (3) was below her best last time when sixth over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 7 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around. IVY GAO (7) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when beaten 13 lengths into tenth at Tokyo Dirt. Can feature back at this level.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last of 14 at Niigata Dirt on May 11 over 1800m, 36 len behind Tagano Malakh carrying 51.0kg at $70.60. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Kawasaki on May 13 over 1500m, 5 len behind Ado Lunatique with 54kg at $38.30. Worth another chance.

Second run back. First-up after three months was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 3 len at this track June 2 over 1200m defeating Irodorino Kaori carrying 56kg at $10.40. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at this track on January 23 over 1500m, 9 len behind Jun Harvest carrying 56kg at $18.80. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Improver with winning prospects.
