GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. AFRICAN BLACK (2) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1580m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. A SHIN DIAMANT (3) last appeared when she finished eighth over 1400m at Saga on February 25. Has switched to the Hiroshi Sasano yard. Capable of playing a major role. NEFER ASTI (1) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Ready to go one better. GOLDEN RING (8) built on a nice second two starts back at Nagoya with a win as public elect over 1400m at Nagoya three weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
