GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

C Jam Blues should find the front with Tatsuno Sky and Haseno Gaisen on his heels. MAROON DRIVE (5) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at Kawasaki last time. Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. MOERE SAWAN MIYAGI (9) was sent out favourite last time when fourth over 1500m at this track. The extra journey should play into his hands. Among the winning hopes. C JAM BLUES (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 1.5 lengths away in fifth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. TATSUNO SKY (2) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.
