GOING: G

Race 6 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Only a small field with Abenin Smile likely to find a comfortable lead. CORAL KING (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths. Has the ability to take this out. PRESTO STELLA (6) strode forward early from his wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by one length at this track over 1400m. His strike-rate at this course and distance is formidable. Well placed and should be in the finish. ABENIN SMILE (5) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing third over 1650m at this track. Must be respected. BONNY MAJESTY (2) was fine when sixth at the second run back from a break in a 1600m contest at this track three weeks ago. The engagement of H Yoshihara is a positive move. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
