GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Riko Nick and Bellagiosonodahime taking up the running, closely attended by Yamato Oza and Davay Cantique. SEIUN PIKAICHI (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1700m at this track last time. Jumps from a nice gate and another bold showing is expected. KEIAI ANTARES (2) has been out of the placings at his last couple of starts, the latest when he settled well back and finished 11th over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Better placed here in easier and can find form. ALPHA INDI (1) scored here two starts ago then last time out found one better over 1200m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. GAME UPLOAD (9) scored last start at this track to make it three wins from five starts this campaign. Do not underestimate.
