GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Ardour Grow and Kikuno Vers up front. HO O ENISHI (6) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1700m at this track, clocking in 1.5 lengths from the winner as favourite. Major player. DREIST (3) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Ticks all the right boxes. ARDOUR GROW (9) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten a head, over 1500m at this track. Can give this a shake. IZA ONE (4) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track when tenth. Better than recent efforts suggest and is well placed to find some form.
