GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Good pace from Biden Tesoro, Excellen Arthur and Nany Peony. T M RUN WAY (2) has switched yards since finishing 12th three weeks ago over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Plenty to like about his prospects. BIDEN TESORO (9) won at this track and distance at his last outing eight months ago. Hard to knock form this course having never missed the frame including four wins and one placing. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. EXCELLEN ARTHUR (4) started at $8.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at this track over 1400m after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. NANY PEONY (10) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
