GOING:

Race 11 1800m

Track: AW     True  

Solid tempo expected primarily from D S Yell and Meisho Ichizu. D S YELL (4) returns from a break of six months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1700m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (3) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when second over 1600m at Ohi. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. AVELLINO (7) missed the frame last start over 1400m at Ohi, finishing 12th. This is a nice drop in grade so he can feature here. JORGE (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run five-and-a-half months ago when third. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
