GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Fukuno Yildiz leading the way. A SHIN RESUME (5) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 5 lengths over this journey at this track. Great chance to go back-to-back. VATRENI (4) missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1230m at this track, finishing ninth. Fitter and look for an improved run. FUKUNO YILDIZ (1) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money when sixth in a 1230m contest at this track six weeks ago. Has a good record at this course and distance and can feature in the finish. GOLD LEGS (6) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1230m at this track last time out. Don't underestimate.
