GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

Secret Matter, Hattori and Cool Cravate can set up a solid gallop. ARC PREMIER (2) saluted at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 1700m here beaten 2.25 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. HATTORI (7) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1600m at Kasamatsu, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at this circuit at the previous outing. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. SECRET MATTER (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by one length over 1500m at this course. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. COOL CRAVATE (1) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when tenth over 1500m at this venue. Should settle handy in the run and will give backers a sight.
