GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Light Brave to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. RIPENING (7) was sent out favourite last time and scored over this track and trip. Is yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Expected to measure up. AURORA CIEL (8) displayed plenty of early toe over 1400m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score. Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. NOBLE BLANCA (9) went close to breaking through last start, beaten only half a length over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Down in class and worth following up. TECHNO DRAGON (6) did a great job to score over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
