GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Epic Night. COVINHA (1) is a distance specialist who finished seventh two runs back at Kasamatsu then improved last time out to score by a neck after being in contention on the bend over this track and trip. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. DHANYAVAAD (10) settled well back and never threatened at his latest outing over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Katsuto Maruno has a solid record aboard this five-year-old entire so could turn things around in this contest. FEEDBACK (9) missed the frame last start over 920m at this track, finishing fourth. Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat. EPIC NIGHT (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second here. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.
