GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Despite the wide draw A Shin Conpa should cross and set a genuine tempo. LUPUS TESORO (12) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fifth over 1860m at this track. Could prove hard to run down. A SHIN DUELER (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. NISHINO LYNDA (5) dropped out from the rails draw before closing late to finish fourth over 1300m at this track last start. Among the chances. A SHIN CONPA (10) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led until they straightened, eventually finishing fifth over 1300m at this track. Worth including.
