GOING:

Race 11 1300m

Track:      

They should run this along with Star Closer and Cherry Skaya taking it up over Meisho Move. CHERRY SKAYA (5) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 2.5 lengths after being prominent on the turn over 1400m at this track. Has only once missed the top-two in the last five runs. Finds another suitable race and can play a major role again. THALJ TAJ (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish half a length back in third over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is a key runner. RAISE CHOCOLAT (4) improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track. Expect another big run. MEISHO MOVE (9) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time. Could make amends.
