GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Strong pace from Yamanin Al Mare booting up from the rails draw to keep likely leader Judge busy. MONGOLIAN KING (4) started at $6.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 2.75 lengths at Mizusawa over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. MONTSAINT IL VENTO (10) started at $1.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AMAZING STAR (9) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at Mizusawa. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. GOLDEN GIFT (7) scored two back at Mizusawa but was below his best last time when seventh over 1600m at Mizusawa. Well placed to turn things around.
