GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Wonder Bling to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MEISHO SHIMATO (1) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Should be right in the finish. WONDER BLING (11) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by a head last time out over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. WAR IS OVER (9) started at $6 last time on the back of a win at Himeji two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MADAM HAWK (4) improved last start but found one better over 1400m here. Should be in contention again.
