GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Fast pace with Teruken Lentil showing out and Istros crossing to apply some pressure. ISTROS (11) scored by 1.5 lengths over this distance at this track last time out when first up from a spell. Form here strong boasting eight wins from 12 starts. Bold showing expected. CHALDEA (4) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 1500m. Record at this track is strong. Sure to go well. MICROPHYLLUM (5) saluted here two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when fourth over 1700m at this track after making up late ground. Expect a better run this time. HASUNOMI (9) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then went on to register a determined win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 920m. In form and another bold showing is on the cards.
