GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Lune Saphir leading from Angel Star and Noble Eiger. NOBLE EIGER (8) stuck on well to finish second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten one length. In a suitable race and can play a major role. TSUKUMO NINE (7) finished 11th two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length after being in contention on the turn over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to make it two in a row. SHINZEN MARUNOSUKE (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1300m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LUNE SAPHIR (9) scored a dominant win at this track over 1400m at his latest appearance on August 23. Has to be respected.
