GOING: S

Race 9 1500m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Mystirion leading the way. MYSTIRION (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 5 lengths over 1600m at Kawasaki. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Likely to feature. CLOSE YOUR EYES (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. COSMO MOCHA (6) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, getting the prize by half a length. Capable of another bold performance. CERCA TROVA (8) ran a better race last start to finish seventh over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 5.5 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is worth including.
