GOING:

Race 12 1200m

Track:      

Good pace with Double Game, Aperitivo and Bhadra matching motors. APERITIVO (5) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1100m at this track six weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. COPANO SICILIA (6) debuted with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when third over 1200m here, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. PRESTO JUPITER (2) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by half a length over 1000m. Among the main chances. ELDER FLOWER (9) turned in a modest performance when fourth last start over 1200m at this circuit, beaten 8 lengths after a good win on debut at this venue. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
