GOING:

Race 4 820m

Track:      

A Shin Beaming to take up the running with Equuleus Tesoro and Rockets Un close at hand. BOYISH GIRL (7) finished third at this track and distance at her last appearance three months ago. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. GOLD EGG (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.25 lengths when fourth over 800m at Himeji six weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. A SHIN BEAMING (9) got well back over 800m at Himeji last time and never threatened. In the mix on best efforts. HAWAIIAN PALACE (1) is a four-year-old filly yet to find the frame. Failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last start. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
