GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Sun Noble leading Divertir. TORONO ONO (7) returns from a spell of four months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished 15th at Kokura Dirt over 1700m when first-up last time in work. Looks set to run well for the new mentor in this suitable race. SUN NOBLE (4) met with solid support last start over 1300m at this track when fourth. Record at this track is strong. Right in this. I'LL BE MAJOR (8) improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1300m at this track. Well placed and can score again. DIVERTIR (1) had been rock-solid with four placings in a row before finishing seventh over 1300m at this track last start. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix.
