GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Expecting Copano Dylan to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. COPANO HOWARD (14) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a nose away in second over 1600m at this track when he was handy all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ANTICIPAR (5) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish second last start over 1500m at Urawa, beaten one length. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough. FANTASY SKY (12) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by one length over 1500m at this track. Steps up a level but he is capable of another big run. COPANO DYLAN (9) finished 10 lengths adrift in 12th last time over 1600m at this track in a disappointing performance. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
