GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Good early pace headed by Kikuno Beast, Graciano and Migi Hook, with Kutsuwa Family and Jun Serious in their slipstream. KIKUNO BEAST (6) started at $2.20 last time but could only manage fourth at this track over 1500m. H Yoshihara who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. MIGI HOOK (2) bounced back last start and got the job done by 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ASHRAM (5) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Certainly worth following up. HISHI ELEGANCE (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
