GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Good early tempo with several going forward, primarily Sanjuro, Yamanin Shura and Bellagio Dream. SANJURO (3) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 820m at this track seven weeks ago. Can measure up again. RAPIDO FIORE (4) good effort last start when second over this distance at this track, beaten half a length. Form here strong boasting three wins from five starts. Sure to be there at the business end. BELLAGIO DREAM (11) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at Monbetsu. Has the pace to overcome the draw and should be in this for a long way. COSMO STORM (12) was sent out at $16.10 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. In the mix.
