GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of early pace with Neo Neo Mods and Rogue Nation battling for the lead but there will be pressure from a few other on-pacers. NEO NEO MODS (8) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a neck over 1600m at Mizusawa. Sure to go well again. ADMIRE LEVIN (5) missed the frame last start over 1600m at Mizusawa. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ROGUE NATION (9) finished third over 1400m at Mizusawa last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. MANA HOKU (2) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing second over 1600m at Mizusawa. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
