GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Glinda. PRESCRIPTION (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4.5 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BOCCA AL LUPO (6) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. RAIFUKU (5) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 12 lengths away in 14th over 1400m at Kyoto. Fitter and deserves another chance. GLINDA (9) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 13 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect her to finish closer.
