GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Special Holiday. BAROQUE PEARL (4) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1400m at this track six months ago. A bold showing is expected. ANILA (7) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1300m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by one length. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. NAMURA KAMEJIRO (11) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on June 7 over 1400m when he scored by one length. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SPECIAL HOLIDAY (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in second over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
