GOING:

Race 10 1750m

Track:      

Hot tempo expected from A Shin Dazzle and Metus. A SHIN DAZZLE (4) has nine wins and two minor placings from 11 outings this preparation. Scored last start by one length at this track over 1400m after being up on the pace all the way. This looks the ideal assignment. PUREA LEGEND (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.5 lengths away in second over 1750m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. KAZU LAUREATO (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 3 lengths back in fourth over 1750m at this track. One of the main contenders. METUS (8) missed the frame last time when sixth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on five consecutive occasions. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Not to be discounted.
