GOING: FM

Race 11 1800m

Track: FIRM     True  

Plenty of early pace with Nishiken Bob and Glint Beat battling for the lead but there will be pressure from a few other on-pacers. NISHIKEN BOB (8) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1700m. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. CREW DRAGON (5) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1800m here following a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. B B GAUDI (10) improved last time out, finishing a neck from the winner in second at the end of 1800m here. Worth noting Ryu Abe goes aboard. Well placed and can feature. GLINT BEAT (11) improved last time out, finishing second at the end of 1700m at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.
