GOING: G

Race 11 1400m

Track: GOOD      

El Barrio and Power Slave will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. FIGLIO DEL SOL (9) is having his first run since January 16. Has a strong record when fresh with four wins from eight runs, the most recent over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to go well. TIME MOMENT (4) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1500m at Kawasaki. Worth noting Norifumi Mikamoto goes aboard. Going well and has strong prospects. EL BARRIO (5) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track only to fade late and finish seventh. Can give backers a sight. BATTLE PARILEYYA (8) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish fourth at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
