GOING: S

Race 12 2000m

Track: AW      

Eis King should lead and control the tempo. LYSINE (10) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 2000m at this track, scoring by half a length. Has a solid second-up record and is all set to make it two-for-two this prep. COURECHOUSE (3) scored over 2000m at Kawasaki at his most recent appearance on October 17. Comes here with definite claims. PYRO BEAM (2) scored last start here to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead and has winning claims on best figures. EIS KING (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 11 lengths. Draws the inside alley and is worth another chance.
