GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

The ideally-drawn A Shin Harrier to set a strong tempo with Princess Karen and Bow Chaser applying plenty of pressure. A SHIN HARRIER (1) in strong form with five wins from 15 attempts this campaign. Won two starts back at Sonoda and went close again last time out. Sound record at this distance with three wins and five minor placings from 11 runs and is sure to run well. IZA GREEN LIGHT (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1800m after being in contention all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VENCEDORES (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. YAMANIN RIGID (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
