GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace from Del Mio Cuore taking it up with Silver Bridge and Mix Up on his back. LUXE BRILLANTE (5) struggled in a tougher race two starts back but last time appreciated the drop in grade and bounced back to salute over 800m at this track. Sure to give a great sight again. DEL MIO CUORE (1) showed early speed from a good draw and led until the entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Well-placed and will take running down. MIX UP (6) landed her maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by one length. Winning rider Shigeharu Mabuchi sticks and she should be in the finish again. SILVER BRIDGE (3) turned in a fine effort to score by a head at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
