GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

From the inside gate Ardour Grow can show speed with Promessa and Jambalaya prominent. CHROME NOIR (5) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 1700m at this track. Likely to be in the finish here. SKYRAY (8) pushed forward last time and boxed on well to finish third over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. JAMBALAYA (11) did well last start but found one better over 1500m at this track. Heading the right way and gets his chance to get off the mark. LEADENHALL (12) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1700m at this track. Everything points towards a big run.
