Race 10 1750m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Bendyuga. BENDYUGA (1) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing second over 1400m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. KEN BRIDGE KNIGHT (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. SODERMANLAND (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 21 lengths away in 13th over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. This doesn't look as hard so he is perfectly placed to score. LEGENDIZE (2) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1400m contest at this track last time out by one length. Among the main hopes.
