GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Torta Caprese and Kurino Dragon leading the way. KURINO DRAGON (3) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1300m at this track. Has never been out of the placings in three starts at this journey. Sure to prove tough to beat. BANDONEON (10) settled well back and never threatened when eighth over 1400m at this track last time out. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. TORTA CAPRESE (1) lines up on the back of a 6 length sixth over 1300m at this track. Has a solid record here including four wins and eight minor placings from 21 outings. Serious contender. MEILLEURS VOEUX (6) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 14 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
