GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Ecoro Falcon and Sun Noble look to take it up. SUN NOBLE (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins and six placings. Top chance. BEIDEN MARINA (8) was below her best last time, finishing eighth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone. ECORO FALCON (3) last appeared six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Kochi when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Masanori Mashima stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TRIONFALE (5) missed the placings last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
