GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo on the cards with Bellagio Rao leading the way. SPRIGGAN (3) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Won at this distance last time and he is a top chance again. T O TEBALDI (7) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time over 1400m here, leading throughout to score by 3.5 lengths. Rates highly and can measure up again. LIVYATAN (4) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this circuit over 1400m. Has a good record here at this journey with four wins and six minor placings from 13 starts and has claims on his best efforts. BELLAGIO RAO (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this venue, beaten 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
