GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Twilight Saga, Hironyan and Sun Bringer matching motors ahead of G T Spica. TWILIGHT SAGA (6) recorded another success last time over 1400m at this track making it four straight wins this campaign. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. HIRONYAN (9) proved too strong last start and scored by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Boasts four wins here. Shinsuke Ishikawa who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. SUN BRINGER (3) started at $3.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1300m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins and can feature. DWELL SEIRA (7) improved last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Anticipating another big run.
