GOING: G

Race 10 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. MEPHISTO (3) is in top form, most recently recording a win by one length over 1200m at this track to make it two in succession. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from six starts and is sure to run well. MANA KOA (9) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished seventh when fresh from a spell two starts back then improved and scored over 1200m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but she is capable of another big performance. SILVER MIRAGE (6) finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten a neck. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. GUSHICHANNO SORA (5) finished third last time over 1200m at this track. In the mix.
