GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

They should run this along with Kevala and Myr taking it up over Fascinate Pi. KEVALA (1) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1800m at Himeji. Unbeaten here in three starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. FASCINATE PI (4) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1800m at Himeji, making it two minor placings in a row. Key runner. RAY AND DANCE (7) settled well back when fifth over 1800m at Himeji last start. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MYR (8) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Himeji. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
