GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Shishi leading the way. BLUE FLAME (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. SHISHI (4) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1400m at this track but could only manage fourth, although only 2.5 lengths from the winner. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. YUNA PO (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only half a length. Likely improver with strong prospects. NORI WOOD TAIL (2) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Worth plenty of thought.
