GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks strong with Visu Iijan and Urban King going forward, along with Alabanza. URBAN KING (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should settle handy in the run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ALABANZA (11) got the prize two runs ago at Kanazawa. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1400m at Kanazawa, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. VISU IIJAN (2) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. Likely improver with bright prospects. COOLEST (7) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 21 lengths into 11th. Can feature in the finish.
