GOING: S

Race 6 1600m

Track: SOFT     True  

No recognised leader on paper but Lien Fort has the pace to take it up despite a wide gate. ESCARCHA (4) has switched yards since finishing tenth seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1800m at Kyoto. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. LIEN FORT (11) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Ready to go a couple better. MIRANKA (1) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1600m at this track when eighth. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and can take this out. COCONUT GARDEN (9) did a good job last start but found one better here, only beaten half a length. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
