GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Las Elle and T M Tenjin leading the way. CITRINE TESORO (8) missed the frame two back in tougher company then tackled an easier race more recently when a 4 length winner over 1400m at this track. Found winning form back at the right level last start and looks hard to beat. T M TENJIN (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. SHIZURI (3) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1800m at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. MYCONIS (7) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, getting the prize by half a length. Backmarker who keeps coming. A big run is expected.
