GOING:

Race 12 2000m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Randy and Vogelweide prominent. VOGELWEIDE (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. ROUGE MAAT (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. KIMITO YUMEOKAKERU (8) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 2000m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to turn things around. UMBRELLA DANCE (2) has been thereabouts, the latest finishing sixth over 2000m at this track but overdue for another win. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can feature in the finish.
