GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track: AW      

Genuine pace with Moueix taking up the running ahead of Oh My Goodness and Tamamo Ittosei. MOUEIX (6) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1600m at this track. Sure to run well again. VICTURA (8) resumed last time out and finished second over 1600m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Ready to run well. MABU STORK (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1600m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. OH MY GOODNESS (7) was below best form latest when eighth over 1600m at this track. Gets chance to bounce back.
