GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

A Shin Synchro has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. MAKE STORM (9) was caught deep so made a dash forward before the turn then stuck on well to finish second last start over 1600m at this track. The testing material. HONEY MEMORY (3) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. A SHIN SYNCHRO (6) went forward when resuming last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ASTRO POWER (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a neck, over 1700m at Nagoya. Should be winding up late again and worth including.
