GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Adelaide leading Bons Souvenirs. COSMO ROMA (6) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 900m at this track. Will prove very tough to beat. NISHINO HIMMEL (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 1.75 lengths into third over 1400m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HAGAKURENO HATA (9) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Among the chances. COOLEST (8) finished 5 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on May 9. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
