GOING:

Race 12 2000m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from God Baroque and Marron Soleil. GOD BAROQUE (6) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. MARRON SOLEIL (9) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when seventh at this track over 1600m. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth another chance. RAZER BERN (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a neck last time out over 1800m at this track. Must be included. BELLAGIO EMPEROR (1) boxed on fairly last time and wasn't beaten far over 1600m at this track, finishing second. Having his first try over this journey and can run a bold race.
1 14x22 BELLAGIO EMPEROR
