GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Stanley Tesoro. STANLEY TESORO (7) is racing in great heart and has two wins on end, most recently getting the prize by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. AUSTRO (2) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 6 lengths back in sixth. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including five wins. Has the ability to figure prominently. ALULA (3) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Funabashi. Worth plenty of thought. EL GUERROUJ (8) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 41 lengths into tenth over 1700m at Funabashi. Can do much better.
