GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured with Petal Bijou and Star Cruising leading the way over Angel Caido. STAR CRUISING (10) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form since winning at Monbetsu on October 1, the most recent effort a second over 1400m at this track. Missed the frame at her only try at this trip. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts her right in this. PETAL BIJOU (4) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 2.25 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIYA FIGHTER (6) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1300m at this track. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. S K DANDY (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver so plenty to like about his chances.
