GOING:

Race 10 2000m

Track:      

Expecting Ecoro Mars and Admire Asia to press forward and set the tempo. IDEA IGOSSO (15) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1600m at this track. In winning form now and should go well again. ADMIRE ASIA (7) is a talented type who recently returned from a break and made it four straight wins, scoring by half a length over 1800m at this track. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. MEINER BOMBER (11) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing second over 1800m at this track, beaten half a length. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. IL VENTO (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1800m at this track. Can fill a top-three spot.
