GOING:

Race 9 1750m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely from Miss Lemon and Aster Nilgiri. AKDENIZ (1) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has three wins here. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Key runner. ASTER NILGIRI (11) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Naohito Tanaka engaged. Expected to cross from wide out. Sure to be in the finish. ACCOLADE (8) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track last time out. Form at this track is solid. Can figure in the finish. LUX ECLAIR (4) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1400m at Sonoda. No surprise to see him in the mix.
