GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Pace sure to be genuine from Peace One Parfait and Friend Alice matching motors, closely followed by Asia No Kaizoku. ASIA NO KAIZOKU (9) has three placings from four runs this campaign but disappointed last start when midfield over 1600m at Mizusawa. Better than that and is a leading player. NEO NEO MODS (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when eighth over 1400m at Mizusawa. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WELL MADE (4) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time and is among the chances. TAIKI MONSTRE (3) ran below expectations last time at Mizusawa, finishing ninth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
