Strong tempo assured from Pingxiang and Tomiken Shairi leading the charge. PINGXIANG (10) is back at the races for the first time since April 5. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. In the right race and sure to go well. HIGHEST POINT (3) improved sharply with a win as favourite over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. MIRACLE DREAM (2) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from five starts. Capable of another big run. SHOW VALENCE (9) drifted back over 1600m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth. Can figure in the finish.
