GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Shuffle Girl should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. ALA GRACIA (10) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Has to overcome a tricky draw and is taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. SEVENTH STREET (3) finished adrift in eighth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to turn things around. BORDEAUX RISKLESS (8) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1400m at this track when in the market. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. LISTON (5) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1700m at this track. Among the chances again.
