GOING:

Race 10 1800m

Track:      

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. NIXON TESORO (12) has scored at his last five starts, most recently by a neck over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with 10 wins from 14 starts. Top chance again. GRATIAS GU (10) wound up nicely last time over 1400m at this track to finish third. Extra journey a plus and should be doing best work late again. BLUE ARROW (8) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Worth another chance. Grade 3 winner LORD GOLAZO (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 2000m at Kawasaki after being prominent until the final stages. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
