GOING: G

Race 11 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo likely with Tintoretto, A Tracks and Moueix prominent. GABBY'S SISTER (12) is a solid performer who finished off last campaign with a fifth over 1200m at Ohi at her latest appearance five months ago. Good fresh performer so a bright return looks on the cards. SUNRISE FLAME (10) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1400m in Group 3 grade at Chukyo Dirt. Has a perfect second up record from four starts. Among the winning hopes. A TRACKS (9) finished 11th when resuming in Group 3 grade at Chukyo Dirt over this distance last time out. Form over this journey is strong, boasting three wins from six starts. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. TWO SHADOW (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
