GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Norinori Brillante to take up the running at a moderate tempo. DOUBLE ATTACK (2) was thereabouts last time out when third over 920m at this track after he was prominent throughout. Has three wins at the trip. Finds the ideal assignment. NORINORI BRILLANTE (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth in a 1500m contest at this track four weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. MISTY LILAC (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.5 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Worth noting Masaaki Ohata goes aboard. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ULTIMATE SAGA (1) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
