GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Mild Prime to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MILD PRIME (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. TYLER TESORO (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 46 lengths when eighth over 1700m at this track six days ago. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. LUX METEOR (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1230m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. A SHIN TEMUJIN (12) ran well below his best last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth at $4.80. F Komaki who has five wins when partnering stays on. Can play a role in the finish.
