GOING: S

Race 10 2000m

Track: SOFT      

Fortunate to take up the running with Binnada and Oli Lio close at hand. SAGANO OUMASAN (5) was fair fresh then improved nicely to win by 0.8 lengths last time over 1800m at this track. Untried over this journey. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove hard to hold out. BINNADA (1) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at this track when first up from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. MEINER ODESSA (6) is yet to break through in 17 runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1800m at this track on April 15. Expected to feature in the finish this time. MEISHO TOWANI (3) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1800m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out.
