GOING: S

Race 11 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Moderate tempo expected with Rgyal Dar likely to find the front over Riko Seawolf and Wonder Land. WONDER LAND (11) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by one length. Has never been out of the placings second-up and is the testing material. FIGLIO DEL SOL (3) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Good record at this journey with two wins and seven minor placings from 13 starts and could be hard to stop. O SHIN ROKUZERO (9) is a distance specialist who improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1400m at this track when he produced a huge finish. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. MAZAO (6) finished 13th last time out over 1200m at this track. Is effective at this distance and sure to be competitive.
