GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Ardour Grow, Innocence and Destiny Hope can set the pace. WIN VERTEX (11) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. INNOCENCE (6) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when 12th over 1700m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DESTINY HOPE (9) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led into the straight but emptied and weakened out if it to finish tenth over 1500m at this track. A bold showing expected again. AKIYOSHI POWER (3) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
