GOING:

Race 11 1870m

Track:      

Loads of early pressure, primarily from Windy Palace, O Shin Rokuzero and Crowd Noise. CROWD NOISE (1) was a most impressive winner last time over 1700m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Likely to feature. O SHIN ROKUZERO (2) is having his first run since May 1. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from two runs, the most recent over 1700m at this track at the start of last prep. Key runner. MARUKA IGUAZU (10) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. WINDY PALACE (7) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with plenty up the sleeve here. Shunya Hasebe has been the pilot at his last six wins. Worth including in calculations.
