GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

They will be getting along early with Eifer Lion and Dhanyavaad leading the charge. DHANYAVAAD (8) improved sharply with a win as favourite over 1400m at Kasamatsu three weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. BRIGHT PHANTOM (7) missed the frame on turf, finishing ninth at Niigata over 2890m. Strong contender back on the dirt and worth another chance. BEYOND THE DREAM (1) finished fifth last start over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EIFER LION (6) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Can bounce back to the winner's circle.
