GOING: S

Race 4 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Expecting Brightia Anna to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MILLENNIUM BIO (5) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. SEZAN BRAVE (1) finished eighth two runs back at Urawa then improved last time out to score by a nose over 1200m at this track. Can win again. BATTLE CREEK (3) met with solid support last start over 1200m at this track when fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Can bounce back. BRIGHTIA ANNA (9) turned in a fine effort to win by a head at this course and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose.
