GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Nobu Hendrix to bounce to the lead from a low draw. MICHAEL MAXIMUS (7) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on September 6 over 1600m when he got home by 2 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. COSMOS MITCHI (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish fourth over 1500m at this track. Likely to measure up. HELL SHAKE (5) finished seventh at this track and distance at his last appearance four months ago. Has found the right race and is worth including. KAZU ORVAL (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when seventh over 1500m at Urawa. Well placed to make amends.
