Race 8 1600m

Track: AW     True  

Only a small field with Justin Power likely to find a comfortable lead. CAPTAIN FUJI (3) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Takami Riku scored on him last time and retains the mount. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ESPRIT RICHARD (4) finished fourth, beaten 7 lengths, last time out over 1800m at this track. Has a very good record here including four wins from six starts. Among the leading chances. MEINER BOMBER (6) raced on the pace over 1600m at this track last time and went on to win by 5 lengths. Will be hard to run down again. MIYUKI THE STRONG (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1650m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. This is a nice drop in grade so he can return to the winners' list.

Form hard to fault. Resumes off a 38 day let-up. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 15 at this track on June 4 over 1800m, 7 len behind Las Brisas carrying 56kg at $3.50. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 13 at this track on May 17 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Conti Tohoku carrying 56kg at $1.20. Can do much better.

Second run from a spell sat on the pace before fading 7th of 13 at this track on June 28 over 1600m, 10 len behind Captain Fuji carrying 56kg at $2.80. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
