GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Good early pressure with Meisho Kofude or Eclair Brillant likely to take up the running. ECLAIR BRILLANT (7) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by a neck. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. MEISHO KOFUDE (4) is in great form lately scoring two wins in a row, the latest here over 1400m by 0.8 lengths. Looks a top challenger again. IRON ROMAN (9) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at Kasamatsu at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. ATEN HERO (11) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
