GOING: S

Race 1 1600m

Track: SOFT     True  

No place for the faint-hearted with Contento Massimo and Yuyu Starry getting along early. KEIAI BAZARA (7) was doing his best work late last start to get up for second over 1200m at this track. Should be getting home hard and is sure to be tough to beat. LUX SCHNEIDER (6) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish seventh over 1200m at this track. Outdashed but got home well and looks suited by the extra ground. Hard to hold out. YUYU STARRY (3) finished 6 lengths away in ninth last time out over 1200m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in distance today. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Will be in this for a long way. GREEN JADE (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 7 lengths into ninth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. He has first four claims in this lineup.
