GOING: G

KAIKE TOKUBETSU 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine tempo from Full Metal Body leading Smart Weiss. SMART WEISS (7) fought on to score a narrow win at this track over today's trip at his last appearance on May 18. Gets some weight relief this time so he is among the leading chances again. SWEEP AWARDS (4) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1600m at this venue. Another bold showing is expected. AROMA DE ROSA (9) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.5 lengths adrift in third over 1400m here. Among the better chances. BELLE CHAMBRE (1) last appeared when successful by a nose over 1600m at Hanshin nine weeks ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. This is her optimum trip with two wins from four starts and is not to be discounted.
