GOING: G

Race 9 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Eis King and Maruhiro Knight possess good early speed. EIS KING (5) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 6-length win over 1200m at this track last time. Should be prominent again and is likely to play a major role. RYUNO MASAMUNE (12) resumed over 1200m at this track last time out and finished second. Overall record is sound when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Solid winning chance in this lineup. PRESTO RISE (11) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was eighth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time and finds a suitable race. MARUHIRO KNIGHT (1) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fourth at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
