GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Studia. GRACE CARILLON (3) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 1500m at this track. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. APATITE TESORO (2) met with solid support last start over 2000m at this track when third. Well-placed to make amends. VANGUARD'S HEART (8) finished 11th at this track and distance at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Makes plenty of appeal fresh. DAIBA YATAGARASU (9) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 1500m at this track, beaten a neck. Among the leading chances.
