GOING: G

Race 5 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Kiranah and Shutdown Corner to push forward from wide out and set a strong tempo. KIRANAH (11) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on September 10 over 1200m when she scored by half a length. Winning rider Taito Mori retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BAERU (9) finished second over 1400m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1400m at this track. Well placed and gets her chance to break through. SPARROWS (3) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at this track on April 11. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has to be included. RHEIN GALA (12) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
