GOING: G

Race 5 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Genuine pace with Janub finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. AIR SHALLOW (11) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 4 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has a good record at this track with two wins and three minor placings. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. On top. JANUB (3) showed good pace over 1500m at this track when resuming last time and dug deep to score by 5 lengths. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Hard to beat again. GREAT SPIRIT (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent. Stick with him. ESORA (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out at Kawasaki. He is worth another chance.
