GOING:

Race 11 1900m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead with Iine Iine Iine, Migrateur and Sanyo Sfida in advance of Cash Blitz and Namura Tata. IINE IINE IINE (5) got home by a neck last time out over 1600m at this track. Has 10 wins here and Tsutsui Yusuke who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. MIGRATEUR (7) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1700m at Sonoda when he was prominent throughout. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. LE TERRIBLE (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Nagoya two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths last time out over 1700m there. Seigo Tsukamoto scored on him last time and retains the ride. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. NAMURA TATA (2) turned things around last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 1700m at Sonoda. Expect another big run.
