GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Tuna Forty to take up the running with Salt Miracle and Nupur Kur close at hand. SUPER HORSE (9) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on May 6 over 1500m when he got home by 4 lengths. Winning rider Seigo Tsukamoto retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. OFFENBACH (3) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a third at this track over 1500m when he was beaten 1.1 lengths. This looks a nice race for him to return to the winners' stall. CARTIV YORK (4) finished 11th last time out over 1200m at Fukushima five-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be in the finish in this weaker race. SPARTAN WORLD (5) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
