GOING:

Race 10 1800m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from A Shin Animo leading Amanohabakiri. A SHIN ANIMO (1) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last six starts, most recently scoring over 1500m at this track. Sure to measure up again. ENA ANIMAL (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 2000m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Is going okay this campaign, recording three wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Among the leading chances. GRAND COSME (6) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2000m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ANTHRACITE (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 2000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
