GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Krichashchii, A Shin Quantum and Furnace Creek going hard, closely attended by Haruka Saku Sora. A SHIN QUANTUM (6) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past six starts. Last time out he scored over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it. FURNACE CREEK (4) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect after being in contention on the bend over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. HARUKA SAKU SORA (7) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by a nose over 1600m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Should be in the finish. KRICHASHCHII (3) bounced back last start and got the job done by a neck over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
