GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Agnes Shu leading from Yodono Luminous and Mild Corsa. KIMON GAME (9) is often in the money but finds it hard to win. Last raced four weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Expected to play a big role. CROWN ARABIAN (10) continues to race well with a win two back before finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Goes well at this journey with four wins and two placings from nine starts and is a leading contender. AGNES SHU (7) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MILD CORSA (8) finished fourth over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Good record at this journey with three wins and six minor placings from 12 starts and cannot be taken lightly.
