GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Muguete Speranza leading from Meisho Gorushi and A Shin Tips. MEISHO GORUSHI (1) battled on well to hold second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten a head. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. SYNCHROGAZER (11) got the upper hand late to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Likely to measure up again. A SHIN TIPS (2) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a nose over 1400m at this track. Has a solid second-up record and is expected to feature in the finish. MUGUETE SPERANZA (9) opened this prep with a win then was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1500m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. In contention this time.
