GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured from Liontarina and Daijobanai leading the charge. PACE SETTING (6) returns in a similar contest to his last outing three months ago when only just missing out after heavy support. Could be set for a bold showing. DAIJOBANAI (7) returns to a course and distance he knows well. Showed real promise last campaign at this track and boasts a strong first-up record with two wins and two placings from four. Looks primed to strike. LIONTARINA (2) was in the mix two starts back at Ohi but struggled to repeat last time. Has the class to take this field apart if on song. WAR IS OVER (8) showed he can win here recently and should improve on a below-par run last time.
