GOING:

Race 10 1580m

Track:      

Hot tempo expected from Kapua and A Shin Yatagarasu. KAPUA (7) is a last-start winner over 1400m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 1.5 lengths. Has four wins from five starts at this circuit. Likely to feature. KING MINISTER (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1580m after being prominent from the outset. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. A SHIN YATAGARASU (9) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win when resuming last start by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely to push forward from the wide draw. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. HOME RUN BATTER (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Last start 6th of 8 at this track on July 22 over 1400m, 9 len behind Shadow Isle carrying 55kg at $6.60. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 10 at this track on July 8 over 1580m, 16 len behind G T Lullaby carrying 55kg at $6.40. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track on July 22 over 1580m, 3 len behind With Philip carrying 57kg at $2.10. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on July 8 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Sole E Spiaggia with 57kg at $2.70. Going well enough to take this out.

On a three run winning streak. Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track July 9 over 1400m defeating With Philip with 55kg at $1.90. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track June 12 over 1580m defeating A Shin Taverna carrying 54kg at $3. Sure to be right there at the business end.
