GOING: G

Race 11 1700m

Track: GOOD      

Moderate pace from Pond Express taking it up with Shisei Daiki and Win Strategy on his back. THREE LEGEND (1) recorded another success last time over 1700m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Same rider aboard and a leading player again. SHISEI DAIKI (6) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fifth two starts back then scored by a neck last time out over 1200m at this track. This looks well within his grasp. LORD VESPER (8) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when tenth over 1600m at this track. Likely improver. POND EXPRESS (7) latest effort a sixth over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage and can make amends.
