GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Indy Gold, Graine De Star and Shinano Couronne leading the charge. SHINANO COURONNE (4) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 900m at this track three weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. NIGHT MOVE (6) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 4 length win at this track over 1400m. Sure to measure up again. INDY GOLD (1) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 900m at this track six weeks ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. BLUFF CATCH (8) has not appeared since he scored on debut over 1400m at this track on May 15. This sets up nicely.
