GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Fine Gift is expected to lead at a keen tempo. SHONAN DADAN (2) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by one length over 1400m. Form at this track is solid. Right in this. SRI DEVI (1) held on well to finish second last start over 900m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FINE GIFT (6) did little and finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. STRIKE RICH (3) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1750m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
