GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Climb Angel and A Shin Jasper leading the way over Cherrika. A SHIN JASPER (7) is having her first run since April 14. Has never missed the top-three at the start of her campaigns, and she did win over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Leading contender. CLIMB ANGEL (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Has a very good record here with five wins from 10 starts. Should run well. COPANO CURACAO (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHERRIKA (2) drew wide last time and was safely held when sixth over this track and trip. Should camp just off the leaders. Solid claims on best form.
