GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo to be established by Teleos Mina, Ivy Idaten and Nangoku Top Gun. TELEOS MINA (9) was a most impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Is going okay this campaign, recording three wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Bold showing expected. RINEN DRIVE (3) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. GLEANN NA MADADH (4) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten 3 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. NANGOKU TOP GUN (5) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten 4 lengths. Steps up a level but he is capable of running another bold race.
