GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Al Fahidi probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. AL FAHIDI (8) is racing well, scoring two back here before finishing third last time over 2100m at this track. Junki Mochizuki who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Likely to feature. EIGHT WAN (7) has been about the money with five minor placings from eight starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1500m at this track. Key runner. OTANI'S SMILE (3) was a narrow winner last time over 2100m at this track with today's rider Tatsuya Watanabe aboard. Gets some weight relief this time and should run well. DOUBLE ATTACK (6) last raced on February 27 when a disappointing 11th at this track over 1700m after he was well back on straightening. Likely improver.
