GOING:

Race 11 1400m

Track:      

Despite the wide draw Bellagio Gulf should cross and set a genuine tempo. BELLAGIO GULF (11) has two wins and one placing from three runs this campaign. Found one better last start at this track over 1400m after being prominent upon straightening. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEISHO KAIKON (10) finished third over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score when fresh from a spell two runs back. Has a strong record here at this journey with four wins from 10 starts. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. VOLA VIA (1) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when eighth over this journey at this track. Best figures measure up. Willing to forgive. TOMBO (7) has switched yards since and comes here with top-three claims on best form.
