GOING: S

Race 9 1500m

Track: SOFT     True  

Ho O Venus should find the front with Czerny and Rottura on her heels. HO O VENUS (2) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 9 lengths over 1200m at Funabashi. Will take advantage of the good draw. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. ROTTURA (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CZERNY (8) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at this track a month ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. NISHINO SOREGASHI (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 800m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
