GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

A race that lacks early pressure. SHAN DIAN (3) settled well back and failed to live up to expectations over 1230m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run prior. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MJUK INDY (5) is back after a break of seven months. Looking to emulate his win at Kanazawa when returning from a spell last prep. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. RUMILLION (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell, finishing fourth here. Worth plenty of thought. MONSTER (4) finished seventh in a 1400m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
