GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Become King to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. KURINO ENISHI (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing second and only a neck from the winner at the end of 1400m. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MIKIYO WOOD TAIL (4) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, getting the prize by 1.75 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. BECOME KING (6) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the bend at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 15 lengths starting at $6.20. Likely improver with strong prospects. ALL THE RAGE (7) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
