GOING:

Race 10 1700m

Track:      

Score to take charge ahead of Raging Thrust at a strong tempo. HO O ENISHI (4) finished 1.1 lengths back in third over 1700m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Form at this track is solid and could be hard to stop. SCORE (9) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. MICHA (10) missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh. Must raise the bar but worth including. NAMURA AVA (6) drew wide last time and was safely held when tenth over this track and trip. Backmarker who keeps coming. Not to be discounted.
