GOING: S

Race 11 1700m

Track: SOFT     True  

Anticipate Good Day Silence, Annus Novus and Hoyo Moon to set a strong tempo. MEISHO MARBLE (1) has been thereabouts, the latest finishing fourth over 1200m at this track but overdue for another win. Drawn for a good run and rates strongly this line-up. Expected to feature. PHARMA SHINE (6) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1800m at this track last time. Strong record with Genta Ochiai in the irons, including a win. Should be hard to stop. HOYO MOON (5) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. ALPHA INDI (8) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth in a 1700m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
