GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Bellagio Haruka to take up the running with Brigliadoro and Narita Victory close at hand. T K MOHALA (5) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 1.5 lengths from the winner in fifth at this course and distance. Among the winning hopes. BELLAGIO HARUKA (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a neck over 1500m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. A SHIN CONPA (10) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 5 when sixth at this track over 1400m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. CAL BAY CRUISE (4) finished fourth last start here. No surprise to see him in the mix, so worth keeping in mind.
