GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Lowell leading Taisei Brillio. MAX (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run nine weeks ago when third. Comes here with definite claims. TAISEI BRILLIO (6) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1600m at Kawasaki in a disappointing performance. Finds a suitable race and can feature. DREAM BELIEVER (5) is racing well, scoring two back before finishing second last time over 1200m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late and has winning claims. GOOD DEAL (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
