GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Daigo Ryujin, A Shin Elan and Iron Moon can set a genuine tempo. DAIGO RYUJIN (4) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1230m at this track. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset and is nicely placed to take this out. A SHIN ELAN (7) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Sure to go well again. IRON MOON (2) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth here over 1230m. Nicely placed to make amends. HAPPY YELLOW (8) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten a nose into second over 1400m at this track. Can make an impact again.
