THE SHION STAKES 2000m Track: |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with Rod Horn, Kelly Fled Ask and Teleos La La the ones to roll forward. JOCELYN (5) is a promising type who scored at her only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1800m at Tokyo. Has raced only three times and worth noting both wins where while fresh. Will camp just off the speed. Has big upside and best figures should see her run well. LYNX TIP (1) has the best figures to date. Closed last prep when fifth over 2400m in the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) at Tokyo. Was Grade 1 placed fresh the start prior. Best figures should see her run well. DANON FAIR LADY (9) is having her first run since July 6. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from three starts, the latest over 1800m at Kokura at the start of last prep. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ESTUPENDA (4) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 1800m at Niigata last start, scoring by 3 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up.
