GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Sub Ega, Karao Yabure and Ivy Idaten will be keen early so the tempo should be genuine. LINK ARMS (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Kanazawa over 1500m after being in contention all the way. This looks a sterner test than last time but is capable of a big performance. KARAO YABURE (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1500m at this track with today's rider Seigo Tsukamoto engaged. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring three times and placing on four occasions from eight starts. Among the leading chances. NOBLE COCKTAIL (10) travelled on-pace last time out over 1500m at this track and dug deep when pressured but found one better. Can give a sight again. YOUR GLORY (6) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only sixth over 1700m at this track. Form at this track is solid and worth including.
