GOING:

Race 9 1000m

Track:      

Expecting Iide Sky Boss to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. DUNK BAROWS (4) was prominent from the outset when third last time out. Scored back-to-back win sat this track and trip. Takafumi Hattori who has two wins when partnering stays on. Strong claims. NOIR PARFAIT (8) won twice in a row but last time out missed the frame when fourth at this track and trip. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. IIDE SKY BOSS (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second after being in contention on the turn. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to feature. STEEL FINE (10) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a nice progression the first-up run. Has her share of talent. Go well.
