GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Ortu Solis finding the front from his low draw. ORTU SOLIS (3) held on well to finish second last time out over 1200m at this track after leading for much of the way. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. RYUNO MCILROY (9) returned from a seven months break over 1000m last start and got the job done by 1.5 lengths at this track. Boasts three wins here. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. WORLD CRISIS (7) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. IO RAY (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1500m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
