GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Vin Quet Domingo and Bounty Cat prominent. VIN QUET DOMINGO (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1600m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths to make it two in a row. This is his optimum trip with six wins from seven starts and is among the leading chances. STORMY DAY (3) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. WIN XANADU (2) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again. NAMURA BUNCHY (4) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by a nose at this track and trip last start to maintain his good form of late. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to cope.
