GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Good pace with Asama, Crimson Jewel and Stella Bianca prominent. STELLA BIANCA (2) resumes after a break of five months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1100m at this track. Expected to go very well. SHIRO KIRK (5) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1700m at this track five-and-a-half months ago. Expected to go well. SCHNELL KAGA (1) comes here off a break of five-and-a-half months. Scored over 1700m at this track to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect. ASAMA (3) is back from a spell of eight months. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1700m at this track. One of the contenders.
