GOING:

Race 9 1230m

Track:      

Slick tempo established by the fleet-footed trio Wonder Classy, Street Jaguar and I'm Creator. RARE GENIUS (7) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start then boxed on well to finish third here. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. STREET JAGUAR (2) drifted back from his wide draw last start then hit the line hard to score by a neck here. Record at this track is strong. Leading contender. T K VOGUE (5) finished out of the money here a week-and-a-half ago. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. WONDER CLASSY (10) really dug deep to score by 0.8 lengths three runs back at Himeji before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Should give backers a sight.
