GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with City Of London probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. MEISHO INUWASHI (8) finished fifth last start over 1600m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. KIMON NICHOLAS (5) ran a good race last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. May appreciate coming back in journey. Nice run last time and should be in the finish. FLUGELHORN (9) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MIYA FIGHTER (1) is a last-start winner a week-and-a-half ago, scoring by a neck over 1300m at this track. Well placed and likely to feature.
