GOING: S

Race 9 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Expecting Atago Tenjin to set a strong tempo from the inside along with Afro Prince. ATAGO TENJIN (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1200m at this track last time. Has a strong record here at this journey. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Likely to feature. RHEIN ANGEL (6) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish third when resuming last start at this course and distance. Among the winning hopes. AFRO PRINCE (2) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering two minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. Drawn to go forward. Sure to be competitive. CAVALL (4) finished 8 lengths adrift in seventh last time over 1200m at this track in a disappointing performance. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.
