GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. STAR SAND BEACH (9) has been hard to fault, scoring two in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a third most recently over 1600m at this track. Good enough to play a major role. SCIPIO (6) lines up for the hat-trick after a strong win last time over 1600m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Among the leading chances again. NORINORI BRILLANTE (7) has been hard to fault, scoring two in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a third most recently over 1700m at Nagoya when he was handy all the way. One of the key runners. SKY OJI (1) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can fill another top-three spot.
