GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Windy Palace leading the way. WINDY PALACE (3) scored by 1.5 lengths last start over this journey at this track. Is yet to miss the frame in nine starts over this course and distance. Can go on with it. ASHAKA DUMEY (4) registered a strong win here two runs ago then last time out was third over 1400m at this track. In the mix. VUELA FUERTE (8) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1700m at this track. The engagement of Yoshiki Kamomiya is noteworthy. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. ZENDAN SKY (2) has been kept fresh since finishing fifth over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Can sneak into the finish.
