GOING:

Race 9 1230m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Cresco Way and Devil Shizukachan pressing forward with Morning Pass not far away. MORNING PASS (8) used the inside draw to advantage last start, sitting on the pace and going on to score over 1400m at this track last time out. Among the top chances again. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (3) opened this prep with a win two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when 11th over 820m at this track. Can bounce right back. SOLIS LUX (1) drifted back then found the line powerfully to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and trip last start to maintain his good form of late. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. CRESCO WAY (2) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 1230m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again.
