GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Va Savoir to take charge ahead of Winter Sun at a solid tempo. VIN NATURE (6) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1600m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WINTER SUN (7) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1600m at this track when second, beaten 8 lengths. Worth another chance. A SHIN ROTATE (10) was prominent at the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1600m at Kasamatsu after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. VA SAVOIR (8) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this track. Likely improver with bright prospects.
