GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Lovely View to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. JO ESPOIR (12) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Urawa, most recently beaten 2 lengths into second over 1400m at Urawa when he was in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LOVELY VIEW (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 3 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to score again. VERTE MARIN (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1600m at Ohi. Record at this journey is impressive with five wins and four placings from 12 runs and is capable of going well. CLAVE DORADO (2) finished sixth over 1600m at this track at his most recent appearance on August 29. One to consider.

The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at this track September 27 over 1600m defeating Lovely View with 55kg at $11.20. Strong chance from a low draw.
