GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Royal Ibuki. RIPLEY (11) proved too strong last start and scored by a neck over 1700m at this track. Boasts five wins here. Rates highly and should go well. SEIUN ATER (3) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1500m at this track when he was handy all the way. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. ANYA AZAZAMASU (8) started at $2.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing ninth and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 1400m after being prominent at the bend. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. DESTINY HOPE (4) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1400m here last time. Can sneak into the finish.
