GOING: G

Race 9 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Smile Thrive. CZERNY (4) is racing in great heart and has two wins on end, most recently scoring by 4 lengths over 1500m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will give a great sight. GOOFED LYPHARD (5) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 6 lengths over 1500m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Winning chance again. SUN CAPRICE (12) is resuming from a break of seven months for a new stable after finishing fourth over 1500m at this track at his latest outing. Generally runs well when fresh with two wins and three minor placings from five runs. Capable of taking this out. A SHIN ZODIAC (2) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 1500m at Kawasaki. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
