GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Just a moderate tempo headed by Kadosan Gambaru, I'm A Queen and Daishin Sandy. I'M A QUEEN (5) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. ECORO ATHENA (2) is yet to break through in 20 runs but wasn't far away last time when second over 1400m at this track on July 23. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. KADOSAN GAMBARU (1) has been out of the winners list for a while, last start finishing second at this track over 1400m. Generally goes well here and can do much better this time. DAISHIN SANDY (8) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on April 23 when seventh. Makes plenty of appeal.

The run before that 2nd of 10 at this track on June 5 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Pai Ratana with 57kg at $37.20. The inside stall is a real bonus.
