GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Ryuno Magician leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. RYUNO MAGICIAN (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 6 lengths over 1200m at this track. Boasts three wins here. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Best form puts him right in this. BELIEVE AND RUN (8) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1200m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. EMERAL HAPPY (10) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 1000m at this track. Likely to take beating. KYOEI FLARE (4) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and can make amends.
