GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track: AW     True  

Plenty of pace from Vivant Rally, Valencia Snow and Sakura Flavor matching motors ahead of Trapani. BRAVO KINGDOM (8) ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.2 lengths over 1200m at this track when he did his best work late. Beautifully placed and a major player. TRICORN (11) improved last start to score by a neck over 1200m at this track. Keita Nishi scored on him last time and retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. RIC TORAJIRO O (2) ran well last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. VIVANT RALLY (3) missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, finishing sixth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
