GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Rapido Fiore taking up the running ahead of Genius Lennon and Grand Rutile. RAPIDO FIORE (9) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 0.8 lengths when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. GENIUS LENNON (10) was prominent at the turn and finished 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last start at this track over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring six times from 12 starts. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Will prove tough to beat. SATONO STRASSE (4) was expected to run well when fresh last start but missed the placings over 1870m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and has plenty of upside with the run under his belt. Can feature with the right run. VUELA FUERTE (6) has been kept fresh since finishing sixth over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner when fresh from a spell two runs back. F Komaki who has four wins when partnering stays on. One of the better hopes.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track April 21 over 1400m defeating Potenza with 57kg at $1.70.
