GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Slick tempo with Yukari Prelude to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ICARUS (6) went fast early and went on to score by one length last time out over 1400m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. EIFER DAIO (8) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NAMURA MICHELLE (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1600m at this track. Meets a stronger field but she is worth serious consideration. COPANO MONARCA (4) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 5 lengths at this track over 1600m. Form here at this journey is very good with three wins from six runs. Has to be respected.
