GOING: G

Race 9 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Fast tempo likely from Maru Mori Active going forward from out wide, with Olperer joining in. OLPERER (4) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. EXCEL BOBBY (6) is a multiple winner who is yet to miss the frame in three starts. Last appeared when he was successful over 1400m at this track on May 12. Has a formidable combination with Takayuki Yano who has been aboard for his last two wins. Best form puts him right in this. MARU MORI ACTIVE (10) booted up from a low draw to lead last start and went on to score by 6 lengths at this track over 1500m. Ryo Novata who has two wins when partnering stays on. Capable of running a bold race. MISS FORTE (9) performed above expectations last time over 1200m at Funabashi, finishing a neck from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Among the fringe chances.
