GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Slick tempo assured from La Vie En and Wonder Duel leading the charge. LA VIE EN (3) has three wins and one placing from four runs this campaign. Scored dominantly last start at this track after being prominent upon straightening. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WONDER DUEL (9) has scored at his last three starts. Can measure up again. GOOD HABITS (7) turned in a modest performance when second last time out after being prominent at the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BELLAGIO UMAMUSUKO (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and eight minor placings from 16 runs. Has to be respected.
