GOING: G

Race 6 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Mikki Subaru and Hirondelle possess good early speed. JAZZ SMILE (9) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1200m at this track. Form here at this journey is sound, including two wins. Can run over the top of them late. BIG BAMBOO (3) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on June 11 over 1200m when he scored by a nose. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. MIKKI SUBARU (11) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit. Capable of a big run. HIRONDELLE (1) finished third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
