GOING: D

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Shabby Chic. ICHIBAN ZAKURA (7) fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Can produce another positive result. GOSHENITE (2) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing ninth over 1500m at this track. Has the class to figure prominently. SHABBY CHIC (9) could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. GRAND PURPLE (3) was fifth over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
