GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Cesa Song and Aeronaut leading the way. MORINO CARNIVAL (8) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Shuji Akaoka engaged. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and should be hard to stop. CHUO SUBARU (1) finished second behind Tani Noble at this track over this distance at his latest outing. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. AERONAUT (7) turned things around last start and landed the prize by half a length after being in the firing line on the corner as favourite over 1400m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. CESA SONG (3) improved last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. There is a bit to like about his chances.
