GOING:

Race 1 800m

Track:      

Moderate pace from Lady Bolero taking it up with Kei Empereur and Ex Ship on her back. EX SHIP (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2 lengths. Can measure up again. LADY BOLERO (6) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1400m at Saga. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. COPANO LINUS (1) failed to make an impression last time out, settling well back and finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. THUNDER PEKO (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
