GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track: AW      

Pace genuine with Dual Career and Midnight Gale pressing hard closely followed by Beethoven and Shoken. WHITE MAGIC (7) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.5 lengths victory over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Can go on with it. INCLUDED (5) turned in a good effort last start to finish second over 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Anticipating another big run. BEETHOVEN (11) has switched yards since finishing second six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Saga. Well-placed and is among the chances. CONSIDER (6) resumed two weeks ago over 1200m at this track and was only beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Fitter and a threat.
