GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Kurino Nice Guy leading the way. KURINO NICE GUY (9) went forward last start over 1300m at this track and held on well for third. Likely to press forward from wide out. Strong prospects. SHADOW MADNESS (3) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago as $2.5 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid top-three chance. WILHELM (5) was thereabouts last time out when third over 1400m at this track. The extra journey should play into his hands. Poses a genuine threat. ECORO MAVERICK (10) has been out of the placings at his last couple of starts, the latest when he settled well back and finished 13th over 3210m at Nakayama. Don't underestimate in this much easier assignment.
