GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Misuzu Grand O should spear straight to the front of the small field. MISUZU GRAND O (7) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by a head. Will be better for that latest run and is all set to make it two-for-two this prep. LORD ECLAIR (5) finished 11th when last seen in March but won two of his previous three starts at this track. Has performed well when fresh before so may be hard to stop. GOODWOOD GUY (3) made it two wins in a row when he saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when second, beaten a head. Could get the job done. WIN XANADU (4) gets Eita Inoue aboard. Likely improver with solid top-three prospects.
