GOING:

HTB SHO 1800m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Lux Zinnia leading the way. LUX ZINNIA (4) went forward when resuming last start over 1800m at this track and held on well for third, beaten half a length. Will take advantage of the good draw. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CATERINA (6) is racing well including a last start second over 2000m at this track. Has a win and one minor placings at this trip from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. COSMO ANTHOLOGY (1) has not appeared since he scored over 1800m at Fukushima on July 6. Well placed and likely to feature. WIN ACTEUR (8) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from three starts this prep, finishing a neck away in second most recently over 1800m at this track. Shapes as one to consider.
