GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Scipio and Bent leading from Hakusan Flash. NORINORI BRILLANTE (2) did his best work late and finished 2 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1700m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BENT (12) was well beaten in stronger company two starts back then found a better race last time and scored dominantly over 1700m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and is among the leading chances again. DAICHI RAFALE (8) finished third last start here. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. RAGING THRUST (10) was in contention on the turn but was disappointing here last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Nicely placed to make amends.
