GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Pace looks to be genuine with Z Merveille and Irwin matching motors in advance of Queen Ruler and Gilt Edge. Z MERVEILLE (10) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. GILT EDGE (7) was fresh from a four-month break last start and scored by one length at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Winning rider F Komaki stays aboard. Right in this. QUEEN RULER (1) recorded a strong on-speed win last time by a neck over this journey at this track. Expected to feature again. IRWIN (8) was safely held when sixth last start over 1400m here after a good first-up win at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
