GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Sasakin Tomogoro and Shimme Fable leading the charge. TERRENTIUS (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1300m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. THINKING REVE (7) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. RYUNO ARTIST (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when ninth in a 1400m contest at Kawasaki two weeks ago. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. SHIMME FABLE (6) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 6 lengths back in tenth. Nicely placed to turn things around.
