GOING: S

Race 11 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Strong tempo assured from Light Veil and Fortes leading the charge. OKAMMO SHACHO (1) resumes in a similar race to her last run five-and-a-half months ago when third, beaten 1.75 lengths. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. CAPSULE (11) is back after a break of eight months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. GUNSLINGER (8) returns from a layoff of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. FORTES (9) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 14th at Kokura over 1200m when first-up last time in work.
