GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Good early pace from Lord Asterisk, Hope In The Dark and Arumama going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. ARUMAMA (7) turned in a better run last time to finish second over 1300m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. NAMIB (6) bounced back last start and landed the prize by one length as favourite over 1300m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can go back-to-back. LORD ASTERISK (4) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Worth noting Minoru Miyagawa goes aboard. In the mix. GANKEN (10) was safely held when third last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can figure prominently.
