GOING: G

Race 8 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Silver Mirage to take charge ahead of Piena Cresco at a strong tempo. PIENA CRESCO (9) displayed plenty of early toe over 1300m at Saga last time and defied all challengers to score by 6 lengths. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. AND ROSES (4) has missed the frame at her last couple of runs, the most recent when on the speed then fading to finish 12th at Niigata. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. GAME UPLOAD (7) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1700m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. MEISHO HARI SON (8) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by one length over 1800m. Can figure in the finish again.
