THE LORD DERBY CHALLENGE TROPHY 1600m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo with Cruzeiro Do Sul, Rhinebeck and Eeyan leading the way. DIO (7) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1600m in stakes class at this track. Rates highly and it is hard knock the winning form. PARALLEL VISION (2) is having his first run since January 13. Goes very well when fresh with three wins from five starts, the latest over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. CRUZEIRO DO SUL (13) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1600m at Tokyo two months ago, getting home by half a length. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SESSION (9) is a multiple Grade 3 placegetter. Finished second over 1600m in the G3 Sports Nippon Sho Kyoto Kimpai at his most recent appearance on January 6. Makes plenty of appeal.
