GOING:

Race 10 1750m

Track:      

Astaequus to take charge ahead of Crown Faraday at a strong tempo. ASTAEQUUS (9) is in top form with four wins on end, the most recent an effortless 6 lengths victory over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Shinsuke Ishikawa has been the pilot at his last four wins. Among the leading chances. CROWN FARADAY (1) is usually thereabouts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1750m at this track. Can feature. MEISHO MOVE (3) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish a head away in second over 1400m at this track. Worth noting Manato Hida goes aboard. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. TWO WING (10) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, finishing sixth. Look for an improved run here.
