GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid pace with Aero Stream finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. URBAN DESIGN (3) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Kawasaki with a win over 1500m at Kawasaki a month ago, getting home by half a length after being in contention on the bend. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. IRONSIDES (8) resumes in a similar race to his last run ten weeks ago when he scored by 3 lengths. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. Looks a winning chance. TONOPAH (4) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1500m at Urawa but was safely held in ninth, beaten 10 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. YAMAICHI ESPO (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in 11th over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
