GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Sei By Luck has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. RED OPAL (5) is racing well having recorded two consecutive placings since a fresh win, the latest coming when third over 1600m at Mizusawa. Finds a suitable race and can returns to the winners list. MIYAGI SIRIUS (9) finished fourth over 1600m at Mizusawa last time out following a determined win when resuming two back. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. BOUNCELIGHT (6) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 6 length victory over 1400m at Mizusawa three weeks ago. Among the leading chances again. A SHIN POROSIR (8) finished second when resuming two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by one length as favourite over 1600m at Mizusawa. Can run well.
