GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Good pace expected with Deserve Run, Sakura Mau and Bordeaux Griffon paving the way. FALCON VEGA (2) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last three starts, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Effortless win last time out and should be in the finish again. SAKURA MAU (5) is in top form including a win by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track last time out, the second victory on the trot. Well placed to keep the ball rolling. DESERVE RUN (3) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. BORDEAUX GRIFFON (1) produced another moderate effort last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
