GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Very strong early tempo primarily from Bellagio Pride, Meisho Gishi O and Hamburg Hammer over I'm Creator and Snark Durian. DIOPHANTUS (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Rates well on best and expected to go close. SNARK DURIAN (8) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by a neck at this track and trip last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. BELLAGIO PRIDE (12) was prominent at the corner but was disappointing over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Finds a nice race and can make amends. MEISHO GISHI O (11) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Likely to be about the money again.
