GOING:

Race 9 1230m

Track:      

Expecting Mozu Reira Cocona to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. MOZU REIRA COCONA (12) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1230m at this track when beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a decent record at this track. Right in this. TORRE BRANCA (1) did well when second last start over 1230m at this track after a win here the start prior. Well placed and is a threat. WAKINO QUEEN (3) ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only half a length over 820m here. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MR DARLING (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over 1230m. Best figures measure up and look for an improved run.
