GOING:

Race 11 1000m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Shishamo Friend heading them off. GYRO (6) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then just missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. SHISHAMO FRIEND (4) was below par last time when sixth over 1000m here but she has a solid record at the third run in. Well placed and is among the leading players. DER FLUG (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 2.25 lengths when fifth in a 1200m contest at this circuit two weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely and is sure to run well. KASTROM POPO (7) ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only half a length over 1200m at this course. Well placed in this contest and should be about the money.
