GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Big Chan and Aono Sekai will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. AONO SEKAI (4) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth over 1200m at this track. Will be handy in the run and could prove hard to run down. VERY PROUD (6) is coming along nicely this prep. Scored over 1200m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by one length. Likely to be there at the finish again. UNA TO LION (2) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1200m at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he can play a big role. SAKURA KINGLY (10) missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track. In the mix on best.
