GOING:

Race 2 1230m

Track:      

Chiaro Veloce to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. SMALT (4) met with solid support last start over 1230m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Good record at this journey with two wins and 12 minor placings from 17 starts and will play a prominent role. CHIARO VELOCE (10) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to negate a tricky draw. Right in this. Expected to take running down. KAIRASHI (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when eighth in a 820m contest at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MITOLOGIA (6) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 16 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
