GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Keen early pace with Don Apollon, Adone and Palmanova locking horns. DON APOLLON (9) returns from a spell of four months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Kokura Dirt over 1000m when first-up last time in work. Plenty to like about his prospects. YARUKIGENKIFUTOSHI (6) last appeared six-and-a-half weeks ago over 2400m at Kyoto. This is his first run for the Motohiro Koma stable. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. KAIMANA ELEELE (8) is a four-start maiden who is much better suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. LUX RUINART (3) next best.
