GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from T M Himalaya leading Shinojimaniyorasai. DRUM (10) was a narrow winner by half a length at this track two back then second at this track last time. Down in the weights on last run. Expected to feature. MEINER TIMELY (1) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. T M HIMALAYA (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1300m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. THE BIG LADY (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1300m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
