GOING:

Race 4 1300m

Track:      

Strong tempo from Bizantino, Mozu Grand Prix and Pure Collection. MOZU GRAND PRIX (6) was in the money two starts back here but couldn't back it up last time when sixth at this track over 1400m. Should go close. BIZANTINO (1) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEISHO POIROT (4) was comfortably accounted for when 11th last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed and expecting a forward showing. DISTURBIA (10) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when ninth. Should be among the chances.
