GOING: G

Race 8 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Abundant pace from Hakusan Selene, Maru Mori Sparkle and Look At Me vying for the lead with Meisho Kammuri on their backs. LOOK AT ME (2) has been hard to fault, scoring two in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a third most recently over 900m at Kawasaki when she was always up in the leading division. Going up a level this time but she good enough to play a major role. SUZUNO LINE (5) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 4 lengths over 1000m at this track. Unbeaten at this journey and must be respected. PHACELIA (6) gave away a considerable start over 800m at Urawa last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Among the chances and will be tough to stop. MORNING TAMPOPO (1) ran below expectations last time at Urawa, finishing sixth and beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
