GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Riposino, Anno Domini and Snark Durian. COSMO SANVITALIA (4) got home by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. RIPOSINO (11) finished second when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1870m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. HAGINO KA NOA (9) proved too strong two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1700m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. G T TRUE (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
