GOING:

Race 11 1200m

Track:      

Tricky, given the lack of early speed. TREVENA (4) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third here two starts back then landed the prize by half a length last time out over 1200m at this track. Could take beating. GYRO (5) was well in commission last start over 1000m at this track when fourth. Masaaki Kuwamura is back on and has a solid record on the five-year-old, including two wins. Leading contender. JORGE (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth. In the mix. SWAGGER (2) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1200m at this track at big odds. Fitter and can feature with the right run.
