GOING:

Race 7 2000m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to O Shin Bouquet, Guandao and Win Gladness to control the tempo. GUANDAO (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 7 lengths away in third over 2000m at this track when he was handy all the way. Nicely placed to take this out. AN PATO (6) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was always up in the leading division over 2000m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WIN GLADNESS (10) finished seventh, beaten 9 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Among the better chances. MONARCH SLUGGER (8) was beaten 13 lengths into fourth over 2000m at Kawasaki a week ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
