GOING:

Race 5 1750m

Track:      

A keen early contest likely with Sunrise Higher and Aneroid pushing for the lead with Win Brioso and A Shin Terra on their backs. MIKKI MIND (4) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1750m at this track. In great form and definitely worth following up. ANEROID (9) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Sure to play a pivotal role. SUNRISE HIGHER (8) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1750m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. WIN BRIOSO (5) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Himeji. Now under the care of new trainer Hiroshi Nakano. Has found the right race and is worth including.
