GOING:

Race 9 820m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Binary Star leading from Wakino Glass and Spyware. BINARY STAR (7) was well in commission last start over 820m at this track when ninth. Worth another chance. SPYWARE (3) finished out of the money when a disappointing 11th over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Look for an improved run. FIRE TORCH (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth starting at $9.40. Well placed and in the mix. SHIROZUKINCHAN (2) won here two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 820m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
