GOING:

Race 11 900m

Track:      

No recognised leader lining up so expect a moderate tempo. NOBLE GRADE (5) has been in the betting recently but has failed to break through, most recently finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and looks a great chance to repay supporters. IEYASU (9) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished sixth over 1300m at this track. Great chance to break through. HOSUMANI EN (3) gave away a big start and never came on when resuming last start, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Expect a better run this time. MARINO RAIYA (1) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when seventh. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
