GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Superbia to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MAXIMUM DRIVE (3) is ready to peak after two runs back, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at Mizusawa. Rates highly and should go well. RAVE ON (7) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when eighth over 1200m at this track after he settled well back. Should be peaking now and can feature. PALACE GOLD (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m here. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. EMINENCE ROSE (1) gave a bold display over this course and distance when resuming last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third. Among the leading chances.
