GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo set by Sammaru Crazy and Storm Surge. SAMMARU CRAZY (9) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1600m at this track when fifth, beaten 6 lengths. Change of rider to Shinobu Murakami who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including three wins. Should be hard to stop. JOLLY ROGER (10) returns from a break of four months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1600m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. TAKAMAKI FIVE (6) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. STORM SURGE (8) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
