GOING:

Race 12 2000m

Track: AW     True  

Spring Neige or Cosmo Vered to take the lead and attempt to control things. COSMO VERED (6) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 5 lengths at Kawasaki over 2000m. One of the top chances again. SPRING NEIGE (3) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths when fresh from a spell as favourite. Nicely placed to take this out. COCOLI ISLAND (4) finished 11 lengths adrift in seventh last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GOLD VINTAGE (1) improved last start to finish third over 2000m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
