GOING: G

Race 7 1200m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo is on the cards with Ten Arion and Fuku Adel pushing for the lead ahead of Gushichanno Sora and Silver Mirage. SILVER MIRAGE (10) improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track. Fitter and a major threat. SHISEI DAIKI (6) finished midfield over 1200m at this track when resuming from a break last time out. The engagement of Yamato Ishikawa is noteworthy as it has proved a formidable combination. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is a key runner. EMERAL HAPPY (2) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by one length over 1000m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Cannot be discounted. SUZU ROBINSON (9) finished third last time over 1200m at this track. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid claims.
