GOING:

Race 11 1200m

Track:      

Plenty of early pace with Thorough Conan and Jasper Major battling for the lead but there will be pressure from a few other on-pacers. JASPER MAJOR (9) saluted last start at this track over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip and Ryu Abe who has 12 wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish again. DAIRIN WOLF (5) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 4 lengths over this trip. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Definite threat in this line-up. DER FLUG (4) improved last time out, finishing second at the end of 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. THOROUGH CONAN (3) missed the frame last start over 1200m here when sixth. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth including.
