GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Shita Bed and Scintillio leading from Chaldea and Isotype. GRANDITE (5) made it three wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Keita Nishi retains the mount. It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is one of the key runners. TERUKEN LEINSTER (3) wound up strongly last time at the end of 1600m at this track to finish second, one length from the winner. Should be ready to show his best now so a big run is likely. SCINTILLIO (2) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was in the firing line all the way over 1600m at this track. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. ISOTYPE (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
