GOING: S

Race 12 1600m

Track: SOFT     True  

From wide out Mystirion can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. BRAVE OUT (4) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Should be winding up late again. BOUNCELIGHT (7) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last four starts, the latest win coming over 1600m at this track. Huge chance again. TAKARA LINER (12) spoiled a good run of form last start when fifth over 1600m at this track. Takayuki Yano goes aboard this time. Has a solid record here at the distance with four wins and three placings from 10 tries. One of the main contenders. MYSTIRION (11) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1400m at Urawa. Has a high cruising speed. One of the better hopes.
