GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by T M Sinister. T M SINISTER (2) was safely held in tougher grade two back then appreciated the easier grade last time when second over 1400m at this track. Tackles similar class here and rates highly on best. Expected to go close. A SHIN CHAMBER (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a head over 1300m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with six wins and seven minor placings from 17 starts. Can measure up again. KASHINO LUCAS (1) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.7 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1300m at this track. Goes well at this trip, recording five minor placings and should be involved in the finish. HANANO UTA (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m after being up on the pace until straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
