GOING:

Race 12 1580m

Track:      

Just a small field but Rio Sara, Onimaru and Stay Classy can ensure the pace is genuine. ONIMARU (4) really dug deep to get the prize by one length three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all four starts, including a win and is sure to go well. MILAN MILAN (5) finished out of the money when seventh in a 1900m contest at this track four weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. KUROTCHI (3) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1600m. Can measure up again. RIO SARA (2) ran well below her best last time over 1400m at Saga when fourth at $1.90. Has a solid record at this circuit and cannot be underestimated.
