GOING:

Race 8 2000m

Track:      

Genuine pace with New Divide and Miyabi Cry vying for the lead from their low draws. MIYABI CRY (2) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is a great chance to get the prize again. CROW SONG (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 2000m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. MUNDI (4) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1400m here last time. Sure to be winding up late. PARTY MODE (10) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 2000m at Urawa. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
