GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Good early pressure for top spot with Kirin Black or Sanono Biscuits likely to take up the running. HAKKYOI (1) was thereabouts two starts ago before a disappointing sixth most recently over 1300m at this track. Can bounce back in this suitable assignment. RIKO PYTHON (8) better run last start when third over 1300m at this track. Could be hard to beat if he brings his A-game. SANONO BISCUITS (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1300m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MIYUKI ARTEMISIA (9) has switched yards since finishing fourth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Can play a role in the outcome.
