GOING: G

Race 1 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Solid pace from Miraculous City pushing forward, along with Schweigen from the wide draw. MIRACULOUS CITY (2) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. SCOTCH KILT (7) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. EUGENES (8) met with solid support last start over 2000m at this track when third, beaten 2 lengths. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Strong claims on his best form. ZATOICHI (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 1 when beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth at this track over 1600m. Best figures measure up nicely. Should be about the money.
