GOING: G

Race 5 1200m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo anticipated with Burn Straight and Joyful Rock ahead of M T Wiser and Yagiri Dream. YAGIRI DREAM (8) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. TECHNO ANGEL (1) has been freshened since being narrowly beaten last time, finishing second over 1200m at this track. Right in the mix. MARUHIRO UTOPIA (6) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 2 lengths into second over 1200m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win if at his best. BURN STRAIGHT (7) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with success over 1200m at this track a month ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
