GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. LYKEION (6) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 7 lengths over 1600m at Mizusawa. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. MEISHO MEISUI (8) built on a nice second two starts back at Mizusawa with a win over 1600m at Mizusawa a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by one length. Nicely placed to take this out. SUN ENTUSIASTA (2) is going well with three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1600m at Mizusawa after she was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COMBAT COCO (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1400m at Mizusawa after being prominent until the final stages. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
