GOING:

Race 5 1230m

Track:      

Tactical given the lack of speed. A SHIN BUONO (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COSMO TSUKASA (3) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing sixth last time out over 1400m at this track. Deserves a win and should do much better this time. QUEEN OF LILY (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1230m at this track. Will give a sight again. ROSA BLU (6) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten 3.5 lengths. Should figure in the finish again.
