GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of early pace from A Shin Glare, Piedra Aguila and Stay Green primarily. PIEDRA AGUILA (3) had been in top form, scoring three consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing sixth over 1500m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will give a great sight. AVANT (8) finished 3.5 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1500m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Backmarker who gets home hard. Leading contender. HIMINO ICHISHIRO (2) last appeared four weeks ago over 1600m at Ohi when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Masayuki Nakagawa stable. Solid top-three hope. SMILE FRIEND (10) was beaten 10 lengths into sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Racing well. Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track June 9 over 1500m defeating All's Fair with 56kg at $9.90. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 at this track on May 27 over 1500m, neck behind Avant with 56kg at $5.30. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.
