GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Little in the way of tactical speed so a moderate tempo is likely. GOOD ROMANCE (2) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Winning rider Shin Higashikawa sticks. Well placed and should be in the finish. DECLENCHER (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. Going up a level this time but he can win if at his best. KEISAN NOBLE (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m here. Strips fitter and can play a major role. POCHETTINO (6) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing second, only beaten a neck, over today's trip at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role.
