GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo primarily from Speed Yellow, Il Cuore and Arde Yano over Sieg Schwert and Trolltunga. ARDE YANO (4) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to score again. SPEED YELLOW (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish one length away in second over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. SIEG SCHWERT (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. IL CUORE (9) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
