GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with A Shin Ihnen leading the way. A SHIN IHNEN (2) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track after she was prominent at the bend. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. ZIRCON TESORO (8) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 2. Among the top chances in what looks a suitable race. YAMAJUN YOUNG (3) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. REINA ROJA RUMBA (6) finished fifth at her most recent outing over 800m at this track. Worth including in this contest.
