GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace from T M Sinister taking it up with A Shin Gluck and A Shin Chamber on his back. T M SINISTER (7) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. TAIKI MAXWELL (6) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his eighth two starts back at Kochi with a win over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can make it back-to-back wins. A SHIN CHAMBER (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. A SHIN GLUCK (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
