GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Namura Lilac leading from Ares Tesoro and Rouge Nova. KAGEMUSHA (7) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1500m at this track. Confidence restored and can continue the winning form. ARES TESORO (6) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed and he is worth including. MEINER MONT BLANC (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently when third over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. NAMURA LILAC (11) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track. Worth including.
