GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. DIGNITA (10) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 820m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SHIROZUKINCHAN (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten a neck into second over 820m at this track. Can run well again and take this out. CONTRIBUTE (11) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Definite top-three chance. ARAJAI (2) finished 6 lengths adrift in eighth last time over 820m at this track in a disappointing performance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
