GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Keen battle for the lead between Cresco Rocky, Flame Force and Red Acteur in advance of Zangwill and Haruhiko. ZANGWILL (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third at this track after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. ELIM (4) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fourth here. Well placed to return to best form. CRESCO ROCKY (10) returns from a spell of four months after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest at Himeji. Strong claims on his best form. NAMURA HAKA (3) missed the placings last start in sixth over 1230m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently on best efforts and is worth considering.
