GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Sunrise Higher and Miyano Woodley leading the way over Ford Tesoro. SUNRISE HIGHER (9) has been low-flying recently, lifting strongly to score over 1400m at this track at the most recent appearance to make it three straight victories. Shinsuke Ishikawa who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. MIYANO WOODLEY (1) scored at this track two starts ago then last time out found a couple better over 1400m here. Racing well and capable of taking this out. LEGEND RULER (4) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Big chance to score. THE BIG LADY (6) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
