GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Bold Hawk leading Alba Minoru. AVENTURIER (5) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when tenth over 1400m at Kyoto. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. ALBA MINORU (6) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was prominent at the corner before being finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Fitter this time and finds a suitable race. TOHO GEMMA (7) performed well last time at this track, finishing third at the end of 1400m. Has the ability to build on that encouraging effort last start. BOLD HAWK (4) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back.
