GOING:

Race 5 1860m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Aeno Brian leading from Last Story and A Shin Danshaku. AENO BRIAN (5) finished second over 1750m at this track at his most recent appearance on August 11. Expect him to play a major role. LAST STORY (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 2000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. INTENSE FLAME (7) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 2000m at this track in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. CROSS THE RUBICON (4) was well beaten last time and finished at the tail at this track but carries less weight today. Looks well placed here so may be worth including.
