GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but Sky Tailor, Legend and Sayono Speak Low can take up forward spots. PEGU (12) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. HIMMEL (7) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs, last time finishing a disappointing 17th in harder over 2000m. Expected to feature back in this class. SKY TAILOR (4) finished tenth at her most recent outing over 1500m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. PARFUM (9) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 16th over 1800m at Tokyo. Easier assignment this time and should do much better.
