GOING:

Race 6 1700m

Track:      

Pace looks genuine from A Shin Scipio, Wonder Classy and Air Griffon, closely attended by Never Ever. AIR GRIFFON (9) has returned in good order this campaign. Won his maiden first-up over 1800m at Himeji then finished second over 1400m at this track last time. Best form puts him right in this. A SHIN SCIPIO (5) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. NEVER EVER (8) finished seventh over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. WONDER CLASSY (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third over 1400m at this track. Ready to go a couple better.
