GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Shumpu, Orange Dancer and Ryuno Stealth going forward. WAREWA KAZENOKO (2) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a nose away in second last time over 1500m at this track. Can return to winning ways. FAMOUS GRACE (10) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from four runs. Likely to feature. SHUMPU (6) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RAISE YOUR LIMIT (11) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Hard to leave out.
