GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

A Shin Menuet and Hinaarare to take up the running at a strong tempo. A SHIN MENUET (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1600m at this track. racing in fine form and is a top hope again. PORT ROYAL (1) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time and could be tough to hold out. TAISEI DREAMER (4) back to earth last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track after a string on wins. Big chance to bounce straight back. SPECIAL TALK (5) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and should run well.
