GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Pace sure to be genuine from Namura Swagger and True Barows matching motors, closely followed by Ho O Judge. NAMURA SWAGGER (1) was quickly into stride over 1300m at this track last time and went on to score by 9 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. TRUE BAROWS (9) went forward last start and gave a great sight when second over 1300m at this track. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Change of rider to Minoru Miyagawa who has three wins when aboard. Could be hard to stop. DANON MAGIC (6) finished fifth last start over 1300m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. KATSU BENKEI (4) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
