GOING:

Race 12 1800m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Meiner Astoria probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. STAY ON THE TOP (3) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on August 15 finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and is sure to run well. MEINER ASTORIA (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 26 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. Z CENTRAL (6) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when seventh over 1400m at this track. Has further improvement to come and looks the main danger. TAISEI MEGALOS (2) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
