GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

London Tesoro and Feb Kiranah should lock horns early at a strong gallop. ONE SKY (6) has switched yards since finishing 16th seven weeks ago over 1200m at Chukyo. Sure to take beating. T M FONTE (11) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten a neck, over 1400m at this track at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Shinsuke Ishikawa who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. LONDON TESORO (2) finished 16 lengths behind the winner in 11th over 1230m at Sonoda last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Should be prominent from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. LORD MIDNIGHT (7) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a neck over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another good run.
