GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Royal Capital leading from Athena Parthenos and Kashino Menkochan. GANDIVA (4) scored at this track last time out with a head in reserve at the end of 1300m. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Top chance again. AILE DENON (2) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. ROYAL CAPITAL (9) was impressive last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by 2 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Winning claims on best figures. KASHINO MENKOCHAN (3) has switched yards since finishing fourth four weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
