1400

Prize Money: $28,093

A SHIN TEMUJIN (7) is unbeaten this campaign after four appearances, the latest win coming over 1400m at Sonoda. Strongly fancied last time and looks tough to beat again. MOKARA ACE (6) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1400m at Sonoda. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. MIGNON LUMIERE (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Sonoda over 1400m after being prominent at the turn. Each way. VINA HA LONG (8) improved second-up last start but found a couple better over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.

Racing well. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Sonoda on January 14 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind A Shin Temujin carrying 56kg at $4.70. Before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Sonoda on December 25 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind La Vie En carrying 56kg at $7.20. Has the right credentials.
