GOING:

Race 11 1200m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Online Boss, Pink Venom and Shimme Rubus leading the way. KAPPAGI (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 3 lengths. Masaaki Kuwamura who has 12 wins when partnering stays on. Right in this. FUKUNO BURJ (7) finished out of the money when sixth over 1600m at this track two weeks ago. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. ONLINE BOSS (8) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MONONOFU BLACK (2) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
