GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Narino Christie, Inner Sanctum and Meteor Swarm matching motors ahead of Hinaarare and Baepsae. NARINO CHRISTIE (6) is going well including a last-start win at this track as favourite over 1400m. Boasts 2 wins at this course and distance. Rates highly and will prove tough to beat here as always. INNER SANCTUM (1) scored by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a strong record this course, scoring at five of eight starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. BAEPSAE (7) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by one length over this journey at this track after stalking the lead. A repeat of the latest can see her take a hand in the finish. HINAARARE (5) improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten just one length. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.

Recent form sound. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track May 24 over 1400m defeating M S Don with 56kg at $2.90. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at this track May 10 over 1600m defeating Ino carrying 56kg at $7. Will not spend a dime from the inside gate.
