GOING:

Race 11 1230m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably Narita Shin and Aubrac. NARITA SHIN (9) is racing well this preparation, including a last start win here to bring up six wins from seven runs in the campaign. Form this track is hard to knock with four wins from seven starts. Likely to feature. UNENDLICHKEIT (3) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third here when he was always up in the leading division. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. MONONOFU YELLOW (10) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh. Finds a nice race and can atone. PUSH YOURSELF (2) next best.
