GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Red Bronx has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. AL BARSHA (3) is a distance specialist who turned things around last start and landed the prize by 1.5 lengths over 1900m at Kasamatsu. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. LA LA EFFORT (1) missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, finishing sixth. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. SEI VALIANT (8) finished fifth last start over 2000m at this track. Tatsuya Watanabe gets the best out of this nine-year-old entire. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. RED BRONX (6) was eighth at the second run back from a break in a 2000m contest at this track two weeks ago. Fitter and can find the frame.
