GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Good speed from Imperial Moat, Gran Pharaoh and Romance Gray. GRAN PHARAOH (4) last appeared three months ago when he won over 1400m at this track. Can win again. IMPERIAL MOAT (2) bounced back last start and got the job done by half a length over 1500m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. KURFURST (5) drifted back when resuming last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt and failed to threaten, finishing tenth. Suited here and shapes as one to consider. HO O JULEP (6) scored two back here but was below her best last time when fifth over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins. Well placed to atone.
