GOING:

Race 10 820m

Track:      

Abundant pace from Sachino Megumi, Fiorino and Mikiyo Wood Tail vying for the lead with Summer Angel on their backs. SUMMER ANGEL (7) made it three wins on the bounce last start when she scored by one length over 820m at this track. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. SACHINO MEGUMI (12) was successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by 0.8 lengths to make it three wins on the bounce. Winning rider S Kawahara retains the mount. Well placed and can score again. MIKIYO WOOD TAIL (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Key runner. COPANO JAMES (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 820m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
