GOING: G

Race 11 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Reasonable tempo with T's Apex probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. WORLD AIM (11) came from well back on the bend and hit the line strongly to score over 1200m at this track last time out. Sure to feature again. KAGAYAKI TEMMA (10) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Has a good record here over this journey with two wins and four minor placings from seven starts. Sure to run well. SAKUHARU (1) did little and finished well back over 1700m at Kokura Dirt last start. This is a nice drop in grade, so he is perfectly placed to figure in the finish. DURO AVANTI (5) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at this track. Has to be respected, so include in all combinations.
