GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Nitro Journey leading Escarcha. NITRO JOURNEY (11) is resuming from a spell of 11 months and is looking to add to a sequence of three wins, the most recent over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Huge chance again. THREE HELIOS (4) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Ryo Kobayashi scored on him last time and retains the ride. Can go on with it. ESCARCHA (10) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fifth over 1600m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the contenders. NOBU (5) proved too strong two runs ago and was solid last time out when fourth. Can feature.
