GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

A keen pace battle assured A Shin Taverna prominent, joined by Pomme Verte and Out Raising. OUT RAISING (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GRAF (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. A SHIN TAVERNA (12) built on a nice second two starts back at Kasamatsu with a win over 900m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ERABU ROLAND (11) jumped from wide out last time out when safely held in fifth over this track and trip. Has a wide gate again. Should camp just off the leaders. In the mix.
