Race 11 1700m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong pace from Hakusan Amazones and Awesome Sunrise matching motors with Antikythira close at hand. HAKUSAN AMAZONES (4) is in top form with seven wins on end, the most recent an effortless 7 lengths victory over 2100m at Kanazawa five-and-a-half weeks ago. H Yoshihara who has 25 wins when partnering stays on. Hard to go past. SMART MOULIN (7) relished the easier contest last time when second over 1700m at this track. Finds a similar assignment and is expected to run well again. ANTIKYTHIRA (2) lines up for the first time since April 21. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Kochi. Can make her presence felt. GRACE RUBY (8) turned in another moderate effort last start when eighth over 2000m at Kawasaki at the second run back from a spell. Better than recent efforts suggest and can feature in this suitable assignment.
