GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Should be a genuine pace with Kei Empereur booting up from the rails draw inside Realisation and Namura Kamejiro. POURQUOI (7) drew wide last time and was safely held when sixth over this track and trip after being the medium of solid support. Recorded a win and a second from the previous three starts so deserves another chance. KEI EMPEREUR (1) has been below his best at his last two runs but was a winner at this course this distance three back. Best figures measure up nicely. NAMURA KAMEJIRO (5) was solid when fourth last start over 1300m at this track. Can play a role. AL JAHILI (8) didn't fire last time out when in the market but recorded back-to-back placings prior so can bounce back.
