GOING:

Race 12 2000m

Track:      

Fuji Eugene and Sei By Luck are likely to pair-off in front at a reasonable clip. FUJI EUGENE (9) got the job done last start by 4 lengths at Morioka Dirt over 1800m. Impeccable record at this course, winning all three starts. Among the leading chances. RED OPAL (8) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1600m at Morioka Dirt four weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is capable of testing her rivals. BOUNCELIGHT (2) really dug deep to salute dominantly three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Gets the advantage of a good draw today. Likely to run well again. COMBAT SPOON (4) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Hard to leave out.
