GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of early pace with Toho Gemma and Hai to vie for the lead, pressured by Mitono Charmant and T Up Blanca. INNER SANCTUM (1) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 3-length win over 1600m at this track last time. Has a strong record here, including four wins and a repeat of the latest can see him take a hand in the finish again. M S DON (10) improved sharply on his 12th two starts back at Nagoya with a win over 1600m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Finds the ideal scenario and should be in the finish again. MITONO CHARMANT (11) went fast early and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw and worth including. KOTOSHIRO (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
