GOING:

Race 8 900m

Track:      

Nyan Moro and Kleis Avanti can be prominent. GRAND MERMAID (11) comes here off a win last time out, scoring by one length over 900m at this track. Gets some weight relief this time. Is unbeaten in three runs this campaign. Should be in the finish. NYAN MORO (7) went forward last start over 900m at this track and held on well for second, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. POD DUKE (6) finished 4.5 lengths back in fifth over 900m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. ECORO SVAR (10) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1500m at Urawa only to fade late and finish ninth. Can feature in the finish.
