GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Expecting A Shin Quantum to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. A SHIN QUANTUM (4) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and three minor placings from eight outings. Big chance once again. COSMO ESMERALDA (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1600m at this track. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. JOLLY MEMORY (6) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track before finishing second. Ready to go one better. LUXE WARRIOR (7) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on August 14 when sixth. Backmarker who keeps coming. Don't underestimate.
