GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Bellagio Dream leading the way. BELLAGIO DREAM (1) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1500m at Nagoya when returning from a layoff. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MR DARLING (9) turned in a better run last time to finish third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LINGUS WARRIOR (5) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win if at his best. COEUR ET SUGURI (2) started this preparation with a win then was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
