GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace on show, headed by A Shin Kepler, Monge Gift and Mild Prime. MONGE GIFT (7) scored by 1.75 lengths last start at this track over this distance. Form over this journey is strong, boasting seven wins from 13 starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts her right in this. ASHAKA DUMEY (3) made it three wins in a row last time out when he scored by one length over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. MILD PRIME (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2 lengths back in fifth over 1700m at this track. Can give backers a sight. A SHIN KEPLER (9) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Will strip fitter this time and is capable of another top-three outcome.
