GOING:

Race 9 1230m

Track:      

Smart Scepter should spear straight to the front of the small field. SMART SCEPTER (3) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over today's course and distance when first up from a layoff last time out. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. AWESOME SUNRISE (1) proved too strong last start and scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Leading player again. FLORAL DRESS (4) started at $3.50 last time but could only manage fourth at this track over 1230m. Should park just off the speed and will be in this for a long way. NINEN B GUMI (7) missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track when a disappointing 11th. Can contest.

Having second run back today. Last run scored a big 6 len win at this track June 7 over 1230m defeating A Shin Big Boss carrying 54kg at $3. At only start last preparation ran last of 16 at Kokura Dirt on February 10 over 1700m, 16 len behind Dura Resilient with 58.0kg at $52.70. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.

The run before that came from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at this track May 10 over 1230m defeating Push Yourself with 55kg at $1.90. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
