GOING:

Race 6 800m

Track:      

Shelly to set a strong tempo booting up inside Mutekino Harison and Komori Boulder. BELLAGIOHIDAKABOSI (5) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Sonoda last start. Sure to go well again. MUTEKINO HARISON (8) resumes after a break of six months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 820m at Sonoda. Winning chance while fresh. SHELLY (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 820m at Sonoda five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. KUKUNA ZINC (4) finished third last time over 1230m at Sonoda. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake.
