GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Pomaikai and Sun Calypso up front, pressured by Ryuno Napoleon and Pikanchi Flower. STAY CLASSY (10) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 5 lengths away in third over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RYUNO NAPOLEON (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1600m at this track when beaten 0.8 lengths. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from seven runs and is expected to be in the finish. RYUNO DRAGON (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 8 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins from six runs. Among the leading players again. POMAIKAI (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1600m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 3 lengths. Should be peaking. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.

Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at Morioka Dirt on May 11 over 1600m, 3 len behind Yuyu Corazon carrying 56kg at $1.80. Before that didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 12 at this track on April 6 over 1400m, 11 len behind Bari Wheel with 56kg at $7.60. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Racing well recently. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Morioka Dirt on May 25 over 1600m, 5 len behind Yuyu Corazon with 54kg at $4.30. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Morioka Dirt on May 11 over 1600m, 3 len behind Yuyu Corazon with 54kg at $3.80. Sure to be right there at the business end.
