GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Very keen early battle with New Alchemy and Eifer Daio matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. LABUANBAJO (2) is back from a spell of six months. Put together five wins prior to the break, the latest at this track over 1400m. Tatsuya Watanabe has been the pilot at his last five wins. Sure to play a big role. EIFER DAIO (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1600m at this track. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. EARTH J SONTE (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from five outings. Should be in the finish. MAKOTO KUGANIZEKU (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Has her share of talent and finds another suitable race.
