GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Flintlock taking charge. GRATIAS MINORU (10) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when second at this course and distance. Well placed again and can go one better. LEMON CHIFFON (8) lifted strongly to score two runs back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing third at this track and trip. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. NORTH THE WORLD (11) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by one length at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. FLINTLOCK (6) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before boxing on to finish fourth last start over 1600m at this track. Cannot be underestimated.
