GOING: S

Race 10 1600m

Track: SOFT     True  

Rize Rouge Sellier should find the front with Sehr Schnell and Green Dial on his heels. SEHR SCHNELL (9) has strong overall form with five wins including a last start victory at this track. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. GREEN DIAL (7) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Masakazu Kawashima. Finished sixth at this track over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. One of the genuine hopes in the race. RIZE ROUGE SELLIER (1) scored last start at this track to make it four wins from seven starts this campaign. Has a strong record at this course, scoring four times from seven starts. Winning claims on best figures. LONELY PLANET (6) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering two minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. Form at this track is solid. Cannot be underestimated.
