GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Pace genuine with Brillant Aube and Another Mate pressing hard closely followed by Misterio and Yoshihiro. BRILLANT AUBE (3) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last three-and-a-half months ago when he scored over 1500m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. ANOTHER MATE (4) went fast early and went on to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. MISTERIO (2) started at $3.90 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 6 lengths, at Kawasaki over 1500m. Seiji Yamazaki stays aboard. Capable of running a bold race. SUN SALANG (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 37 lengths. Worth another chance.
