GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. NORISAN BLACK (2) returns from a break of 11 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1500m at Nagoya. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. KYOEI BRAVO (8) missed the frame last start when fourth over 1400m here. Expecting a strong run in this field. KAZU VITOSHA (1) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish third at this track over 1600m. Can go on to take this out. DIAVIK (6) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Sure to be thereabouts.
