GOING:

Race 9 1700m

Track:      

A Shin Animo has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. A SHIN ANIMO (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1870m at this track. Shaping up nicely and another bold showing is expected. T O WILSON (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's track and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. NORTH GLORIA (6) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to go a couple better. Z HIRO (9) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
