GOING: G

Race 8 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Strong tempo with Mystirion, Moira and Hero Show leading the way. MOIRA (8) was an emphatic winner last time over 1500m at Kawasaki with today's rider Kenji Okamura engaged. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts her right in this. HENRY (4) travelled in a rearwards position and didn't fire over 1200m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. CHOMECHOME (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Kawasaki, beaten 3.5 lengths into eighth. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. GREEN DIAL (3) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 2.5 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 1600m at this track. Will run a decent race with race fitness now on board.
