GOING:

Race 2 1600m

Track:      

They should roll along at a decent clip. ENERGY GRAND (4) made it three wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 2 lengths over 1300m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is obviously good enough to play a major role. STEELOPOLIS (6) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 3 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and four minor placings from eight runs. Big chance once again. FAST FILL (1) finished fifth last time out over 1300m at this track two months ago. Steps up in journey today. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders fresh. SHINRINGENKAI (3) turned in a moderate effort last start when ninth over 1200m at Ohi. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
