GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Only a small field with Cosmo Imperium likely to find a comfortable lead. COSMO IMPERIUM (2) made it four straight wins when resuming over 1400m at this track last start, getting home by 3 lengths. Effortless win last time out and should be in the finish again. NATSUMIKAN (6) was well fancied last start at the second run back from a break and was in the placings again, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Among the major players. DERMA LA MER (5) gave a sight but faded to finish fifth over 1400m at this track at the last outing seven days ago. Can turn things around. MARK OF ZORRO (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track six days ago. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
