GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Expecting Ultimate Saga to take up the running with Plausus and Big Better close at hand. ULTIMATE SAGA (6) reunites with Aoi Kinomae after scoring with ease over 1500m at this track last time. Best form puts him right in this. BIG BETTER (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1500m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Sure to go well again. JUNE TORTE (5) got a long way back when ninth over 1500m at this track last start. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHIHAYA (9) was tenth over 1500m here last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
