GOING:

Race 11 1700m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from La Vie En leading Gloria D'oro. LA VIE EN (8) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second. Wataru Hirose who has nine wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. GLORIA D'ORO (6) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2000m at Saga. Sure to make his presence felt. TOP REACH (5) settled well back last start and never threatened in fourth over 1870m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. BUZZER BEAT (7) made progress last time out, finishing second over 1870m at this track. Likely improver so plenty to like about his chances.
