GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo likely with several going forward, headed by T's Apex and Nishiken Saku. NISHIKEN SAKU (12) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a nose when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide and is capable of testing his rivals. CHARMANT SIEN (5) finished third at this track over this distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Has a strong record this course, scoring at seven of 14 starts. Bold showing is expected. FLOWER JEANNE (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when third over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. BELIEVE HORSE (1) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1200m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. In the mix.
