GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Recuerdo should find the front with Hudson Tesoro and Chica Poco on his heels. CHICA POCO (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on her rivals. Has a strong record at this course, scoring three times from five starts. Should be in the finish. RECUERDO (1) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Sound record at this distance with three wins and four minor placings from 10 runs and is a leading contender. MELLIEHA BAY (5) performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1300m. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. DRY CAPPUCCINO (8) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1300m at this track. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise.

Racing well recently. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on February 28 over 1300m, 0.8 len behind Accolade carrying 54kg at $4. The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 11 at this track on February 14 over 1400m, 2 len behind Royal Deviser with 54kg at $55. Not far away of late. Worth including.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 12 at this track on March 1 over 1400m, 7 len behind Oreno Aiba carrying 56kg at $8.20. The start before that came from midfield and won by a nose at this track February 15 over 1400m defeating Yuto The East with 56kg at $10.80. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
