GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Expecting a solid pace primarily from Carlino. CARLINO (3) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1300m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 5 lengths. H Yoshihara scored on him last time and retains the ride. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. SPEED YELLOW (8) went fast early over 1400m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 6 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. SIEG SCHWERT (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. ENUMA ELISH (5) was safely held in tougher company two runs back then appreciated the drop in grade last time and scored over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances.
