GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Machaon D'or, Fukuno Spine and Logan Pass prominent. GLINT RITTER (1) returned from a five months break over 1300m last start and got the job done by 7 lengths at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and five minor placings from nine starts. Can go on with it. MACHAON D'OR (8) is a distance specialist who has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was always up in the leading division over 1600m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. FUKUNO SPINE (10) went forward over 1600m at this track last time and held on for second. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Has a fine record here with three wins from seven starts. Shapes as one to consider. GRAND PARISH (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a head over 1600m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
