GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Dignita may well find the front is a race devoid of early speed. BOURGEON DU REVE (9) finished fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on October 28. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. WONDER TRIGGER (4) lines up for the first time since July 31. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Himeji. Should be hard to stop. ALZARD (6) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1700m here on July 31. Has found the right race and is worth including. BRIDGE J I (7) was beaten 8 lengths into ninth over 1400m at this circuit two-and-a-half weeks ago. Capable of featuring prominently.
