GOING:

Race 10 1750m

Track:      

Raise Chocolat has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. CROWN FARADAY (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Sure to go well again. MEISHO TADAKATSU (5) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest over 1400m when he got home by 7 lengths. Winning rider Leo Nakayama retains the mount. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is right in contention. SATONO ALIVE (7) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu after a win there at the previous outing. Sure to bounce back to form. IRON ROMAN (2) finished third two runs back then improved last time out to score by a neck as public elect over 1400m at this track. No reason she cannot score again.
