GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but Generosite, Johann and Saechi can take up forward spots. METAL SPARK (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten 1.3 lengths. Today might be his day. HYAKUSHIKI (8) settled towards the rear and failed to make significant inroads but was good when runner-up prior. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and six minor placings. The engagement of Tatsuya Nakajima is noteworthy. Likely improver. GENEROSITE (6) did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a nose after being prominent at the corner. Expect another big run. ISKANDAR (3) will be fitter for recent racing so may show more.
