GOING:

Race 11 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Mijoka Smile to lead Sunsim at just a moderate tempo. LORD PRIZE (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. MIJOKA SMILE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at Nagoya, beaten 17 lengths into seventh after being in the firing line on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. LEONFORTE (3) settled well back last start and never threatened when 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 900m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. DANON POSEIDON (6) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Ryuma Kanagawa. Finished tenth at Kyoto over 2000m at the opening run last time in work.
