GOING: S

Race 7 1600m

Track: SOFT     True  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Shigerutsukimizake and Linaria leading the charge. SHIGERUTSUKIMIZAKE (9) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SKY OJI (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 2200m contest at this track four weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. ALPHA ELIZABETH (8) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1500m. Can measure up again. LINARIA (11) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1200m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Should do better this time around.
