GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Looks a solid tempo with Nishiken Bob possessing enough early pace to go to the front. NISHIKEN BOB (1) scored by 2.5 lengths when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was in contention on the turn. Is yet to miss the frame from eight starts at this distance, including four wins. Among the leading chances again. DER FLUG (4) was prominent from the outset when second over 1700m at this track last time out. Peaking now and likely to be in the finish. DOTERAI YATSU (5) comes here off a break of seven months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. GLINT BEAT (3) finished fourth when first-up from a spell last start over 1800m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Among the chances.
