GOING: G

Race 11 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Lino Destino to take charge ahead of Master Plan at a solid tempo. STRIKE ON (11) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. MASTER PLAN (8) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of four months and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Has ability and should be right in the finish. AI GOLD (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish a neck adrift in second over 1000m at this track. Keita Nishi has registered two minor placings when on board. One of the main contenders. MAD SHERRY (9) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 900m at Kawasaki. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
