GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Feel My Way, Educe and Bella Vittoria primarily. FEREYDUN (9) last time in a more suitable affair scored by 4 lengths over 1200m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but is among the top chances again. ELLIOTT GAME (7) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1200m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running another bold race. FEEL MY WAY (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset and can feature. SMART TEMPEST (6) last appeared a month ago over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Takahiro Matsumoto stable and expect him to be primed for this.
