GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track: DIRT   Fine    

Moderate tempo with A Shin Pinnacle likely to find the front over Sei Genius and T M Operakko. SEI GENIUS (9) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on July 31 over 1400m, and is expected to go with the job. Perfectly placed to bring up the hat-trick. A SHIN PINNACLE (2) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Form this track is solid with three wins from eight starts. Should run well. T M OPERAKKO (7) comes here off a last-start third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. AUTISTA (3) comes here off a last-start seventh over 1400m at this track. Better than recent form suggests and she can improve sharply.
