GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Escarcha probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. NAMURA BANZAI (10) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last four starts, most recently scoring over 1400m at this track. Looks the one to beat again. HEART'S KELLY (4) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing a head away in second over 1400m at this track. Well-placed and will take running down. NOBU (2) has been in the mix since scoring at Mizusawa, the latest offering a fourth over 1400m at this track. Can take this out without surprising. B B ACTIVE (3) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1400m at this track. Yu Suzuki stays on. Can play a role in the finish.
