GOING:

Race 10 1700m

Track:      

Hujum can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Hujum likely to find himself in front. HUNKSTER (5) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on November 21. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. KAFUJI JAVA (8) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home comfortably. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. UP SHOGUN (9) was sent out favourite last time and scored. Has three wins here. Seigo Tsukamoto who has two wins when partnering stays on. Certainly one to consider. J L HARBOR (6) brings the right form to the table and generally goes well here with a win and three minor placings from four tries. Must be respected.
