GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with A Shin Falcon and Garo matching motors. HIGH RESILIENCE (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. O SHIN ANGEL (1) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1400m at this track. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. ERICEIRA (6) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. PASADENA DREAM (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in contention here.
