GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Fast tempo assured with Keep Shine, Yamanin Al Mare and Concarneau going at each other early in the piece. MUGENNO KANOSEI (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Yuichi Sakaguchi engaged. Looks set to go close again. YAMANIN AL MARE (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on her rivals. Has a very good record here with two wins from four starts. Among the leading chances again. KEEP SHINE (9) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a third here two starts back then scored by a neck as public elect last time out over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SOL DE VERANO (8) has returned in good shape this preparation. Scored by half a length last time out over 1600m at this track and is likely to be in the finish again.
