GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace established by Fluffy Song, Mozu Life Saver and First Rickey, with Una Gloria close at hand. FIRST RICKEY (7) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish second at this track. Ready to go one better. NOBLE SHADE (9) improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can go back-to-back. FLUFFY SONG (12) got home by 5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Boasts five wins here. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Winning claims on best figures. JUN HANS (4) was fourth in a 1300m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
