GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Shiki heading them off. NOBLE SEASON (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALPINA SEVEN (10) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fourth over 1200m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. SHIKI (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Among the main hopes. HOROYOI MANGETSU (9) improved second-up last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Well placed to run top-three again.
