GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Chuwa Spring, Alsafi and A Shin Jolt, closely followed by Aco and Win Fierte. ALSAFI (2) has been freshened up since a narrow defeat last time over 1400m at this track. Major player. PENSEE (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1600m at this track. Sure to run well again. SPECIAL TALK (4) was a dominant winner last time over 1900m at this track, getting home by 4 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to be competitive. WIN FIERTE (3) finished fourth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Form here at this journey is very good with seven wins from 13 runs. Can figure in the outcome.
