GOING:

Race 11 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Okammo Shacho to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. STEEL MAGIC (9) resumes following a break of 15 months. Is unbeaten when fresh from a spell and has been in the money three times from seven runs at this course. Strong credentials and should be fighting out the finish. OKAMMO SHACHO (3) recorded another success last time over 1200m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. MONONOFU BLACK (6) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1200m. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Can go on with it. GOOD BOY (7) first up run was just average, finishing seventh over 1200m at this track. Has a perfect second-up record from three starts and expect a better outcome this time.
