GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Let It Go and Fighting. ITSUMO HARAPEKO (1) was in the firing line on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1300m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LET IT GO (5) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HECTOPASCAL (6) was safely held when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 12th and beaten 17 lengths. One of the main contenders. ANIMAL KIRISHIMA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
