GOING:

Race 6 1580m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Keisan Noble and Tama Espoir leading the charge. TAMA ESPOIR (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1580m. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. KAMIGAMINO UTAGE (3) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1600m at this track. The engagement of Junki Mochizuki is noteworthy. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. I GOT YOU (4) surprised many last time when a close second over 1400m at this track. Definite danger again. CHIEN DE LUNE (1) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Expected to feature again.
