GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Elegant Fleur taking up the running ahead of Satono Harmonia and High Good Shine. ANEMOS ELPIDA (5) drifted back from the inside draw last time then found the line strongly to score by a neck over 1400m at this track. In form and will take beating again. HIGH GOOD SHINE (9) has six placings from 12 runs this preparation, most recently finishing second as favourite over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Bold showing is expected. MONTSAINT OF LIGHT (8) turned in a nice run when fresh from a spell two starts back but missed the placings last time when ninth over 1230m at this track. Fitter and deserves another chance. SATONO HARMONIA (4) finished adrift in tenth last time over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Solid top-three prospects.
