GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Bear Nao Sen, Shinzen Kotaro and Yuna Pink Gold to control the tempo. YUNA PINK GOLD (7) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 820m at this track, an improvement on her eighth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SHINZEN KOTARO (5) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BEAR NAO SEN (1) is yet to break through in 19 runs. Finished eighth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 17. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. SATIN BODICE (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 33 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
