GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Bellagio Masaki leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. VIE HOMMAGE (11) missed the placings when seventh over 1400m at this track. Steps up a level but his best is good enough to take this out. DERMA VEDA (8) did a good job last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he can play a feature role. BELLAGIO MASAKI (3) looks close to a win, the latest effort a solid second over 820m at this track. Key runner who should run well. SATONO AVALON (6) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth over this journey at this track. Worth including.
