GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Miyabi Luna leading the way. BEER BOY (10) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish third at this track. Strips fitter after two runs this time in work and is sure to be a major player. OBEDIENT (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MIYABI LUNA (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m here. Best figures measure up and can do a lot better. ARC RIOSO (5) was seventh over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Worth another chance.
