GOING:

Race 12 1900m

Track:      

Plenty of pace evident with Flag Admiral and Il Timone leading the way from Tai Sai and Coeur De Reine. COEUR DE REINE (9) scored last time over 1500m at this track, making it two victories from three appearances this campaign. Has a strong association with Satoshi Yonekura and could be hard to stop again. FLAG ADMIRAL (6) finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track two weeks ago as $1.80 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Hiromitsu Horiba who has scored on him two times retains the mount and a bounce is likely. TAI SAI (7) started this preparation with a win two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. IL TIMONE (8) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1500m at this track. Will be fitter again and can figure in the finish.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 8 at this track on April 16 over 1500m, 1.75 len behind Kaijin Wave with 56kg at $1.80. The run before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at this track March 17 over 1400m defeating Meiner Heritage with 56kg at $1.60. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
