GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Stoic Noah should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. STOIC NOAH (11) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. FUKUCHAN KING (4) built on a nice third two starts back at Kawasaki with a win over 1500m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Key runner. KING OF KAZU (8) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1600m at Funabashi. Among the chances again. MONGE HAGANE (3) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Good enough to play a major role.
