GOING: S

Race 11 1800m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine tempo with Smile Mambo and Amazing up front. NATURAL RISE (12) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 6 lengths when resuming last time out over 1700m at this track. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. JANADRIYAH (9) is a promising type who scored at his only run last prep ten weeks ago over 1800m at this track. Is yet to beaten first up from three starts. Should be in the finish. NIGHT OF FIRE (6) finished third last time over 1700m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. AMAZING (5) scored two back at Nakayama Dirt but was below his best last time when fifth over 1700m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
