GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Admire Levin possessing enough dash to find the front. NAGATA ENERGY (9) recorded a strong maiden win over 1200m at this track last time, getting there by 2.5 lengths. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. ADMIRE LEVIN (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was fourth over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STALLONE (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 3 lengths, over 1200m at this track after he got a long way back. Cherry-ripe now and can find peak form this time. SHININ' GOLD (7) returns after three years in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
