GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Pace genuine with Je T'adore and A Shin Elan pressing hard closely followed by Daishin Katana and Epic Day. MINACK THEATRE (1) was close to breaking through last start when beaten half a length into second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AGNES SHU (2) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Expected to be in this for a long way. DAISHIN KATANA (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins and three minor placings from nine outings. Can feature again. A SHIN ELAN (3) lines up for the first time since May 23. Looking to emulate his win at Himeji at the beginning of last prep. Definite top-three chance.
