GOING: G

Race 11 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Plenty of early pace to be established by Rosa Road, Tea Five and Kieler Woche, with Cerca Trova close at hand. TEA FIVE (10) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 8 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has a liking for this trip and looms as the one to beat again. ROSA ROAD (8) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish fourth over 1600m at Kawasaki at her latest appearance. Form here over this distance is very solid. Should be prominent from the outset and can make the finish. CERCA TROVA (6) went fast early and went on to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1500m at Kawasaki. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. ROAR VENT FLARE (3) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m here. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out.
