GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Imagine Lennon to take up the running with Infini Wraith and Nishino Wind close at hand. IMAGINE LENNON (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track last time. Has an excellent record here over this distance and is yet to miss the placings, including three wins. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. NISHINO WIND (7) finished 10 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. OBEDIENT (2) is yet to break through in 23 runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on May 14 after she gave away a big start. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. STROMUNG (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
