GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Mind My Words should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. MIND MY WORDS (7) showed good pace and kicked strongly to score over 900m at this track last time. Nice weight drop for this and expected to go very well. THALJ TAJ (10) didn't do a bad job when sixth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. KITAKARAKITATENSHI (3) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Finds the right race this time and can run another big race. COIN (5) started this preparation with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
