GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Eight Wan. STEEL ACTOR (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 920m at this track. Has a fine record here with five wins from 15 starts. Expected to be in the finish. RED BRONX (2) finished third two runs back but was less effective last time over 1700m at this track, finishing back in ninth. Worth another chance. EIGHT WAN (11) was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. AL BARSHA (7) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 0.8 lengths over 1700m at this track. Hard to fault winning form and worth consideration.
