GOING:

Race 8 1300m

Track:      

Solid pace from T M Himalaya and Feb Kiranah pushing forward with Shinojimaniyorasai in close attendance. T M HIMALAYA (5) camped just off the lead at this track last start and boxed on well, finishing second and not far from the winner. Capable of fighting out the finish again. SHINOJIMANIYORASAI (9) finished fourth last start over 1750m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. ARMA TOP END (8) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming and can be competitive again. THE BIG LADY (2) last raced on April 21 when fourth at this track over 1400m. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
