GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Good early pressure with Neo Hughes or Meisho Rosy likely to take up the running. APOLLO BIBI (10) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at this track six weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. AIR SEIRAN (9) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1300m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at Kawasaki the run before. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. NEO HUGHES (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1600m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins from eight outings. Can feature again. MEISHO ROSY (7) was beaten 9 lengths into seventh in a 1400m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
