GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace established by Big Reversal, Pikku Prinssi and Bellagio Rao, with Yoshino Tarumae close at hand. OLIVIA SUNRISE (3) failed on the tougher circuit two back but relished the drop in grade last start when scoring here. In winning form now and can go on with it. GENIUS LENNON (4) got back before running on well for fourth over this trip last time and will be strong late again. BIG REVERSAL (5) scored here last start and now boasts three track wins. Should push forward and prove a major player. LIVYATAN (10) resumes after a narrow second four months ago and looks a strong top-three chance fresh.
