GOING:

Race 11 900m

Track:      

Entelecheia and Lino Destino possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. ENTELECHEIA (10) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1200m at Ohi at his latest appearance. Has a solid record here over this journey. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give a great sight. PALACE LEGACY (6) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 900m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. PRAELUDE (8) scored by half a length over this distance at this track last time out when fresh from a spell. Hard to knock form this course having never missed the frame including two wins and one placing. Winning claims on best figures. TIARA FOCUS (11) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. One to consider.
