GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Two Shadow from her wide alley. EXULT (9) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 9 lengths away in ninth over 1600m at this track. Has the ability to figure prominently. MAZAO (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Sho Yoshii who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. RGYAL DAR (4) finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at this track when first up from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has a superb record here at the journey with three wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Will strip fitter and can feature in the finish. FUJIKOCHAN (8) is back from a break of four months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1200m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
