GOING:

Race 5 1230m

Track:      

The speedy Rugger One Team should find the front with Snark Stage and Kurino Nina on his heels. L HALCON (6) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Tatsuya Takemura scored on him last time and retains the mount. Steps up a level but he is good enough to score again. SILVER BLISS (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish third here last time. Has a strong record here at this journey. Leading hope. STAY MAC WAR (11) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. KURINO NINA (3) made progress last time out, finishing second over 820m at this track. Best figures measure up.
