2020 JAPAN RACING ASSOCIATION PLATE – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Greysful Glamour can get a soft lead. SHARED AMBITION (5) returns to ten furlongs after a battling effort in the Doncaster Mile a fortnight ago. The start prior was a dominant winner of the Randwick City Stakes. Much better placed at this level over this trip.

BEST OF DAYS (3) struggled in the Doncaster Mile on the rain affected ground. First up run in the George Ryder was fair and looks set to get back on firmer footing. Form during the spring on firmer ground at Group 1 level was strong. YULONG PRINCE (2) also comes out of the Doncaster where he finished midfield. Easier here and his second in the Ajax Stakes was full of merit.

NORWAY (7) has value appeal. Drops back sharply in grade from the Ranvet Stakes and now has Blinkers applied for the first time. Best UK form would see him take some beating here. LIFE LESS ORDINARY (4) looks set to get back on a firmer track after fair efforts in the Sky High Stakes and the Neville Selwood. Honest old campaigner who should enjoy a kind run from gate 1.
