Race 11 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with Isla Azul leading from Windy Palace and Polixenes. WINDY PALACE (2) four-year-old entire with multiple wins at this journey. Good effort but found one better last time out over 1400m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed and is likely to feature. GLORIOUS APOI (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Osamu Shimohara gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Fitter this time and finds a suitable race. POLIXENES (11) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from seven outings. Among the leading players again. INTENSIVO (8) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing seventh. Has a good record at this journey with two wins and two minor placings from six starts and should be in the finish.
