GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo primarily from Pan Tesoro, Beryl Sphere and Iason Tesoro over Sammaru Valley and Remigino Tesoro. IASON TESORO (2) led throughout last time over 1400m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Winning jockey stays aboard and is a leading contender. SAMMARU VALLEY (3) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1400m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. No reason she cannot salute again. BERYL SPHERE (1) went fast early and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Will again be prominent from the outset. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PAN TESORO (5) resumes after a break of five months. Trying to repeat his debut win over 1300m at this track to kick off last prep. Solid top-three hope.
