GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Canele Flavor heading them off. CANELE FLAVOR (7) scored last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has found the frame in all five starts at this journey, including five wins. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see him run well. SATONO TEMPEST (1) was prominent from the outset when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Form here at this trip is sound. Further improvement is likely. NEO TOKIO (6) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish seventh over the same trip at this track after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Nicely placed to make amends. DIXIE GUNNER (5) returns from a spell of five months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished eighth at Hanshin Dirt over 1200m when first-up last time in work.
