GOING:

Race 11 1000m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Nishiken Cabal and Dujac leading the way. NISHIKEN CABAL (2) returns from a layoff of five months. Scored over 1000m at this track to launch the last campaign. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. DUJAC (8) was last at the races when he got the cash over 1200m at this track on November 12. One of the genuine hopes in the race. KINGLY AIR (1) resumes after a break of 20 months. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1100m at this track to kick off last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. VIORNA (9) has switched yards since finishing tenth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Mizusawa. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
