GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Miyabi Arc leading the way. KISS UMAI (8) found plenty to score by 3.5 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and is a key runner. MIYABI ARC (7) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 820m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GRAND LEI HEART (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. A SHIN REPNI (10) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four appearances this campaign, finishing 0.6 lengths away in third most recently over 820m at this track. Shapes as one to consider.
