GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Bind Lock and Shanghai Magokoro kicking up to hold out the next wave. COOL FIVE (7) built on a nice third two starts back at Nagoya with a win as favourite over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. MIDORITATSU (8) started favourite last time out over 1400m at this track but found one better, making it four minor placings from six starts this campaign. Not far off a win and she looks a genuine threat. SHANGHAI MAGOKORO (5) started at $4.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1600m. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. OBJET D'ART (2) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only 11th over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back this time around.
