GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely from Valar and A Shin Karnabon. AS YOU LIKE (6) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by 1.3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Going well and should give a bold sight again. VALAR (9) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ANNO DOMINI (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip after he was in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. A SHIN KARNABON (4) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.
