GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track:      

Expecting Serio Veloce to take up the running with Shishi and Miya Fighter close at hand. SHISHI (3) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. That gave him a win and three placings from last four runs. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SERIO VELOCE (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 1400m. Draws the inside and could bounce back. A'S ODIN (4) was good last start when he found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. WONDERFUL TODAY (7) is returning from a spell of ten weeks. Now with a new trainer Shinji Kudo after racing at JRA level last time in. Much better placed.
