GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Good pressure from the outset with Immortal Soul, Toa Kafu and Miracolo Eclat taking up the running over Whitehead and Miyagi Road. EL AURENS (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to make amends coming back to this much easier assignment today. WHITEHEAD (2) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and can go on with it. SAKURA RUFEN (5) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish seventh over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back. MIRACOLO ECLAT (11) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1500m at this track. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
