GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Or Mirage, Heiwa and Takeno Raiko to take up the running at a strong early tempo. FIVE G (3) put the writing on the wall last start when he finished a close second at this track over 1400m. Will take beating. HEIWA (8) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1300m at this track in a disappointing performance. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. TAKENO RAIKO (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth over 1300m at this track. Can bounce back. DANCE IN THE SNOW (6) finished third last time over 1300m here. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
