GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Crack Of Dawn leading Shosan Kizuna. SHOSAN KIZUNA (6) drifted well back before winding up strongly to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1600m at this track last time out. Has a superb record at this journey, unbeaten in four starts and shapes as a key contender. MEISHO YONKU (1) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a bold race. SEIUN GALLEON (8) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. COLOMBAGES (2) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten one length at $76.80. Can play a role again.
