GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Olperer to take up the running with Horse One and Uwasano Anoko close at hand. DATEOTOKO (3) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths as public elect last time out over 1500m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. SOUTH VILLE STELLA (4) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at today's course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. OLPERER (9) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 1500m after he was in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. HORSE ONE (8) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Was racing in great heart last prep with three consecutive wins before finishing fourth at this track prior to going for the spell. Good effort at the start of last prep to fill a minor placing over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders.
