GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

In a race devoid of early speed A Shin Tea Time is the most likely to find the front. PALUSTRIS (12) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when third over 1300m at this track. Rates on top here and looks hard to beat on last run. HAI VAN (9) was well supported last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. CLARIS HIME (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2200m at Nakayama. Will enjoy a drop in class so she can turn things around. NISHINO NASTURTIUM (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth. Well placed to atone.
