GOING:

Race 11 1800m

Track:      

They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. MARUKA ATLAS (4) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1600m. Tatsuya Watanabe stays aboard and the combination can score again. BANDAM AGAIN (3) has scored at her last three starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with six wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Can measure up again. SKY OJI (2) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was always up in the leading division over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LITTLE SOMETHING (8) scored two back at Kanazawa but was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
