GOING:

Race 4 1200m

Track:      

Plenty of speed with Feline Valor, Roman Leap and A Shin Freude leading Del Piero and Conti Watchi. FELINE VALOR (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1100m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. ROMAN LEAP (1) was an effortless winner last time over 1000m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. Leading contender. DEL PIERO (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1200m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LAYUP THREE (10) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 5 lengths over 1000m at this track. Yamato Ishikawa stays aboard. One of the better hopes.
