GOING:

Race 10 1000m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Atonimo Sakinimo to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MATTERHORN (11) is a distance specialist who turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1000m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but can give this a shake. BELLE AUBE (5) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. This looks a sterner test than last time but looks a top contender. NISHINO LAEVIGATA (3) showed good early pace over 1000m at this track last time and kept going to score by a neck. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. ATONIMO SAKINIMO (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1000m. One for consideration.
