GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Solar Ray should find the front with Kfir and Red Bronx on his heels. ERNANI (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth in a 2000m contest at this track eight days ago. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. RED BRONX (2) performed above expectations last time over 2000m at this track, getting the prize by 0.8 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. MITONO UNIVERSE (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 2000m at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form again. SOLAR RAY (7) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to bounce back.
