GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Kikuno Le Meilleur finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SUBARASHII HIBI (2) fought on well to finish second last start here, beaten less than a length as favourite. Leading player on best figures. KIKUNO LE MEILLEUR (1) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Has a strong record at this course, scoring four times from five starts. Will prove tough to beat. HARUHIKO (3) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. INTERLUDE (6) has not won for a long while but has best figures that measure up. Can sneak into the frame.
