GOING:

Race 4 1860m

Track:      

Small field but expecting a genuine tempo with plenty of pace engaged. COSMO FARNESE (2) met with solid support last start over 1800m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Shinsuke Ishikawa who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Likely to feature. DANON TURKISH (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into fifth. Has the talent to take this out. GLORY (3) was safely held when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MANA HOKU (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
