GOING:

Race 9 820m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Eiraku and Ingenium up front. FIORINO (2) is knocking on the door, finishing just a neck away in second. Boasts a terrific record over this course and distance, and should prove tough to beat from the favourable draw. EIRAKU (7) showed early dash last start and fought on for third here first-up. Well placed and expected to produce another big run. INGENIUM (9) hasn’t won recently but his second last start suggests he’s ready to break through. Is another that boasts a strong record here. Have to take seriously. HINATA LADY (8) improved sharply last start to get things back on track. Goes well here and is worth including.

Second run from a spell 9th of 12 at this track on September 5 over 820m, 6 len behind Devil Shizukachan with 55kg at $43.30. Hard to recommend on recent form.

Second-up. First-up after three months led but faded 3rd of 9 at this track on September 19 over 820m, 3 len behind Le Vent Vert with 55kg at $3.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at this track on June 12 over 820m, 2.75 len behind Zealous Efforts with 55kg at $17. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Racing well recently. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on September 19 over 820m, 2 len behind Le Vent Vert carrying 57kg at $2.70. The race before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on September 5 over 820m, 2.25 len behind Devil Shizukachan carrying 57kg at $9.40. Nice effort last time. Can go on with the job now.
