GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Mami Emi Momotaro, Lux Eclair and Ena Animal ahead of Piece Matching. ENA ANIMAL (6) displayed plenty of early toe over 1870m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 2.5 lengths. Excellent prospects in this suitable race. LUX ECLAIR (2) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 2400m at this track. Back in trip and has the talent to take this out. HOKUZAN GOLD (9) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish second over 1870m at this track. Nicely placed to go one better. ANTHRACITE (8) should give this a shake.
