GOING: G(4)

Selangor Turf Club (Bm66+) 2200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 9m. (Pent: 6.6).  

Good competitive staying contest to kick off the day's proceedings with not a great deal separating the main hopes. Speed anticipated from I Done It, Eleven Seconds, Tarquinn Shadow and Kronfeld. I Done It looks the likely leader, Kronfeld and Eleven Seconds are also capable of racing handy while Tarquinn Shadow is the other on-pacer. ELEVEN SECONDS wasn't disgraced when beaten over this trip last time out and is capable of taking a hand in the finish here in a similar race. TARQUINN SHADOW found her best form to post an overdue win last start. Handy mare on her day and could hold her form now. I DONE IT will be up in the firing line for a long way and if he gets his own way in front can take running down. Let's Twist is lightly raced and is worth keeping in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Eleven Seconds - Just hope Parnham lets him rip.
