GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Naeil Na leading the way. RESURRECTIO (4) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. A SHIN QUASAR (3) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1400m at this track only to fade late and finish seventh. Look for an improved run. NAEIL NA (6) finished fifth last time out over 1300m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give backers a great sight. IN ORBIT (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track. Likely improver so plenty to like about his chances.
