GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Yasaka Star and Shita Bed taking up the running over Sym Armatura. YASAKA STAR (2) raced just off the lead before letting down nicely and scoring a 1.3 lengths win over this journey at this track last time. Has a strong association with Genki Fujimoto who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Bold showing expected. SHITA BED (7) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten only a head after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. AMAZING VIEW (5) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought. FRONT DOOR (1) finished sixth over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance on October 24. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
