GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Expecting Lot Precious to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SHONAN DADAN (1) has been racing in great heart with two wins on end followed by recent back-to-back placings, the latest a second over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LOT PRECIOUS (4) saluted last start at this track over this distance after she was in the firing line on the turn. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from three starts. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. SMILE VIVANT (6) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing seventh over 1400m at this track last start. Has never been out of the money in four starts here at this trip, including a win. One of the main chances. FINAL SWORD (10) turned in another moderate effort last start when 12 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see him in the frame.
