GOING: G

Race 11 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo from Michael Maximus, American Seed and You're On Fleek battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. MICHAEL MAXIMUS (4) is back at the races for the first time since April 7. Scored over 1600m at Kawasaki at the start of last prep. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BENISSIMO (8) has been racing in great heart with two wins on end followed by recent back-to-back placings, the latest a third over 1600m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. YOU'RE ON FLEEK (14) has had two runs since a break, the latest a win over 1800m at this track, beaten a head. Has a solid record at the third run in so he is among the leading chances. A SHIN PISTON (5) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish sixth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Must be included.
