GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Toho Lambo. PERSEIDS (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was handy all the way over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a bold race. ETERNAL BLUE (1) met with solid support last start over 1700m at this track when third. Record here is impressive with four wins from 11 starts. Should be in the finish. EXULTATION (9) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 3 lengths at this track. Boasts four wins here. Seigo Tsukamoto who has four wins when partnering stays on. One of the main contenders. QUINTARELLI (10) improved sharply last time out to score by a neck over 1500m at this track four weeks ago. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
