GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Good pressure from the outset with High Power Zenkai, Ben Hur and A Shin Loro taking up the running over Shanghai Magokoro and Buzzutchi. HIGH POWER ZENKAI (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on his rivals. Form here at this journey is very good with five wins from eight runs. Very smart and looks hard to beat again. HAPPY TIME (13) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1800m at this track. Has a sound record here with two wins and three minor placings from 11 starts. Has the right profile and can feature. BEN HUR (2) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when 11th over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. BUZZUTCHI (3) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Expected to go well.
