GOING:

Race 12 2000m

Track:      

Chambord should lead and control the tempo. ROCK FLAVOR (9) held on well to finish second last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Top jockey Tsubasa Sasagawa booked to ride, he rates highly here and should go close. DIRT RAISING (11) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 2000m at Kawasaki. Has to overcome a tricky draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. RYUNO AHN (7) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when third over 2000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. DANDY JACK (4) worked home well and finished third last time over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid prospects.
