GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but Special Talk, Captif and Dagr Force can take up forward spots. KING OF THE NILE (1) turned in a much better effort last start when beaten only 0.9 lengths into third at this track over 1400m. Sure to go well again. DAGR FORCE (3) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 2000m at Nagoya. Leading player. CHUWANO KISEKI (9) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1900m at this track. Perfectly placed and can give this a shake. JUBILEE HEAD (6) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
