GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Keen speed battle, with Glorious King, Nefertem and Go Go Goat prominent. AFRO RAIDEL (10) was a most impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. NEFERTEM (9) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1600m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Yoichi Ando who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. YUME KAIDO (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1600m. Can measure up again. GO GO GOAT (7) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Worth another chance.
