GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace from Libellula taking it up with Snark Stage and Ho O Cedar on her back. WONDER GELATO (9) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. LIBELLULA (3) has been in the market at her last couple of runs since resuming but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1400m. Rates highly in this line up and gets her chance. SHIMANO DIAMOND (5) finished third two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Finds a nice race and can atone. OE KINTOKI (8) last raced on May 28 when seventh at this track over 1400m. Fitter and can feature here.
