GOING:

Race 11 1300m

Track:      

Arde Yano should find the front with Danon Fast and Meisho Ogishi on his heels. POD CONTI (3) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1400m at this track on September 27. Looks set to run well. ZOKUZOKU (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. DANON FAST (7) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. MEISHO OGISHI (4) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Solid claims on best form.
