GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Abundant early pace from Add One, Immortal Smoke and Danon Justice vying for the lead with Curren Lomachenko on their backs. CURREN LOMACHENKO (10) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by a nose over 820m at this track last time out. Shuji Akaoka who has 12 wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. BABY BOSS (2) led throughout last start to score an effortless 4-length win over 1400m at this track. Major player. ADD ONE (11) scored by one length last start at this track over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring eight times from 16 starts. Toyokazu Tano who has scored on her eight times retains the mount. Has winning claims. SUNRISE RAPPORT (9) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1400m at this track. Can go a couple better here.
