GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Genuine pace with D S Yell taking up the running ahead of Silent Black and Fukuno Bartherans. D S YELL (5) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second over 1800m at this track. Sure to go well. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (6) scored at this track last time out with 2 lengths in reserve at the end of 1800m. Masaaki Kuwamura who has scored on him seven times retains the mount. Leading contender. TSUKAINO KIZUNA (10) got the job done when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from three starts. Shapes as one to consider. AVELLINO (8) was sixth over 1800m at this track last time out. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
