GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. KOYU RASSERA (11) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. BIBBIDIBOBBIDI BOO (3) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when 11th over 1800m at Tokyo. Well-placed in this easier assignment and he is among the leading players. STROMUNG (9) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Key runner in this line-up and fitter is expected to feature. GOLD LOVELY (8) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh. No surprise to see her in contention here.
