GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Presto Stella is expected to burn across and lead from the wide alley. TO SPARKLE (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1600m at this track. Should settle handy in the run. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. PRESTO STELLA (12) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 1.75 lengths away in second last time over 1200m at this track. Kota Motohashi who has scored on him eight times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. GOLD JUDGE (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. GODSEND (4) is back from a break of six months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when eighth over 1200m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
