GOING:

Race 10 1000m

Track:      

Solea is the likely leader at a strong tempo. CROWN BRAVO (3) is racing well without winning. Last start finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Sure to go well. EIS LINDY (2) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage sixth last time out over 1000m at this track. Well placed and is among the leading players. PRESTO GAUDI (10) was below his best last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 900m at Kawasaki. Has a decent record at this trip with five minor placings from six tries and is one of the prime contenders. PHACELIA (5) gave away a considerable start over 800m at Urawa last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Was outdashed but got going late and looks suited by the extra ground. Sound each-way chance.
