GOING:

Race 11 1600m

Track:      

The pace looks strong from the outset. BARI FLAVOR (7) resumed over 1600m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Record at this trip is excellent and another win looks on the cards. TAISEI VAINQUEUR (6) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1600m at this track last time out. Has a solid record at this circuit. Leading contender. CHA PRI (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but missed the frame last time out when fourth over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. PIEDS FORTS (8) finished third last start over 1800m at this track. Should be peaking. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
