GOING:

Race 3 820m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Grass Vigor. GRASS VIGOR (10) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth over 820m at this track. Well placed and rates a chance. BUON HOPE (6) missed the frame last start over 820m at this track, finishing fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. EQUULEUS TESORO (5) was below his best last time, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. BELLAGIO MASAKI (4) finished sixth last time out over 820m here. Well placed to play a major role.
