Race 9 2000m Track: GOOD True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo, primarily from Randy and Alrischa. RANDY (4) was a gutsy winner last time over 2000m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths to make it two wins in a row. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Big chance to score again. A SHIN HEMERA (12) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Solid again last time out when third over 2000m at this track. Yet to miss the placings in five starts over this course and distance. Cannot be underestimated. SMILE POPPY (9) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish fourth at this track. Likely to be winding up late. ALRISCHA (8) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 2000m at Kawasaki, beaten 3 lengths. Can progress.
