GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Copano Elbaz taking charge. COPANO ELBAZ (11) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fourth over 1500m at this track. Has a win and one placing at this journey from three starts. Credentials hard to fault. BIJOU LEI (2) ran below his best last start when sixth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Rates highly and can atone. KIMUKEN HAPPY (6) got a long way back last start when tenth over 1500m at this track. Well placed and can feature. MARUMORI HAPPINESS (7) has been thereabouts lately but still a maiden after seven runs. Last time out sat on the pace before fading to finish fifth over 1500m at this track. Worth including.
