GOING:

Race 5 820m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Smart Ciel leading Run To The Sky. WONDER COLORFUL (2) started at $3.40 last time on the back of a win at Himeji two starts ago but was below his best, finishing tenth over 1230m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth another chance. IRON FLOWER (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 820m at this track. Steps up a level but she is good enough to figure in the finish. RUN TO THE SKY (4) is ready to win after collecting her fifth minor placing in a row last time over 820m at this track. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and six minor placings from 11 runs. Capable of a big run. BRAVE BLOOD (9) was ninth over 1230m at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
