GOING: G

Race 2 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo primarily from Revuelto Dio, Cilantro and Wise Portia over Great Stick and Night Sailing. GREAT STICK (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. CILANTRO (6) reunites with Masaaki Kuwamura after scoring with ease over 1100m at this track last time. Has a high cruising speed. Major player. REVUELTO DIO (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1100m at this track, finishing second and only beaten a head. Must be included among the main hopes. NIGHT SAILING (2) finished second last time over 1000m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
