GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Neo Neo Mods, Yamanin Rivalry and Kurino Brise can set a strong tempo. VIP AKUA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. This doesn't look as hard so she will be hard to beat. BROTHER SUN (7) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his eighth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. YAMANIN RIVALRY (5) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth at this track over 1400m after being prominent at the bend. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is likely to play a big role. ATTRACT VOICE (9) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 5 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
