GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Very strong early tempo primarily from Two Lury, Crowd Noise and Rikea Sable over Uotaka and Yashiro Boy. RIKEA SABLE (10) scored at Himeji last time out with 2.5 lengths to spare over this journey. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this trip. Top chance. HOLY BAROWS (9) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a five time winner and scored two back at Kochi before placing last time at the same venue. Record at the journey sound and among the chances. ONE WARRIOR (6) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Going well and can feature again with the right run. TWO LURY (5) won at Saga two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
