GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Spiritual and Dino Sunrise kicking up to hold out the next wave. SPIRITUAL (8) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on July 14 over 1400m when she got home by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Toshiki Yamamoto retains the mount. Capable enough on her day and is one of the major players. DINO SUNRISE (9) is putting together some solid results. Finished third here two starts back then scored by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can make it two in succession. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (3) backs up seven days after he was well-supported at this track and finished third over 1400m. Handy draw will assist and must go in the numbers. GRAND CRU (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
