GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Solid pace with Punk Beat finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SPENCER BAROWS (10) resumes today after closing off last preparation with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1500m at this track on January 9. Has an impeccable record at this course, winning at all four visits. Should be in the finish. ONIASHI (4) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on February 23 over 1400m when he scored by 2 lengths. Winning rider Norifumi Mikamoto retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can build on recent success. PUNK BEAT (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 3 lengths at this track. Boasts three wins here. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. ERIN ACHILLES (3) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 5 lengths, at Funabashi over 1600m. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
