GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Plenty of pace with Never End March and Will Too Well up front, pressured by Shigerutsukimizake and Flash Time. G T ENGINE (13) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 1.5 lengths at this track and trip when resuming from a spell last time out. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can get the job done. FLASH TIME (1) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1500m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. SHIGERUTSUKIMIZAKE (12) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time out, leading for home before finding one better over 1500m at this track. Bold showing expected. AKANE SEIKO (6) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second at Kawasaki two starts back then landed the prize by one length last time out over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 12 at this track on February 28 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Mow carrying 56kg at $8.70. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track January 7 over 1500m defeating Seinosuke with 56kg at $2. Leading contender coming out of a very nice gate.
