GOING: G

Race 11 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with Zodiac Reve leading the way. CREDENCE (10) is back from a spell of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1200m at this track. Looks set to run well. ZODIAC REVE (7) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by a nose last time out over 1200m at this track. Genki Fujimoto scored on him last time and retains the mount. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. HASENO EXPRESS (4) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing third over 1200m at Ohi, beaten 2 lengths. Has the ability to take care of this field. KARLSBAD (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
