GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Patrol Run to lead Hosikuzuloneliness at just a moderate tempo. PATROL RUN (5) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 1.75 lengths at today's track and trip last start in a much improved run. Taking on a better field, but he has the scope to win again. AGNES HERO (6) is returning from a spell of five months. Finished fifth at Nakayama over 1600m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Toshikazu Okada, and will be very competitive at NAR level. Watch closely. RAS AL KHAIMAH (4) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Going up a level this time, but she can repeat the dose. URBAN KING (2) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell, then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, finishing seventh. No surprise to see him in the mix, so stick with him at odds..
