GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with N K Japan likely to find the front over Shinzen Hachiman and Smart Eminence. SMART EMINENCE (5) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when second. Sure to make his presence felt. ROYAL HOJARI (1) made significant late ground last start to finish second. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. CHERRY TIME (7) didn't feature last start when out of the placings over 1230m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he can turn things around. SHINZEN HACHIMAN (9) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
