GOING: S

Race 1 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Genuine tempo with Delizia leading the way. MAHINA LUTHER (9) managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing sixth over 1600m here last start. Finds a nice race and this might be his day. MARUYO RIVIERA (11) broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at this circuit last time. Drawn out a bit but she is a solid top-three hope. DELIZIA (7) is a handy type who resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. At her last appearance she finished fifth over 1600m at this course, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Has a high cruising speed and has winning claims on best figures. LE GRAND BLEU (3) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, last start over 1600m at this venue. Sure to give a sight again.
