GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Siena Queen leading A Shin Chimaira. SIENA QUEEN (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1400m last time, finishing sixth. Has been in the money at each second up start and is worth including here. ITEMAE BUFFALO (3) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished second over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed and anticipating another big run. TENKOBAHI (2) failed to feature last start, finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Among the chances on best figures. O SHIN ANGEL (6) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing sixth over 1400m. Deserves another chance.
