GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Shinzen Wakamiya probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. SHINZEN WAKAMIYA (4) is still a maiden after 11 starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back when resuming before finishing seventh over 1500m at this track last start. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. SOLAR SYSTEM (12) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1500m at this track last time. Sure to give a brave sight again. CROSSROAD (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 920m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. OJO (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 920m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
