GOING: S

Race 5 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Off the low draw the speedy Red Coral should lead at a genuine tempo. SOUTHERN FLEUVE (3) has switched yards since finishing fourth three weeks ago over 1400m at Kawasaki. Has ability and should be right in the finish. PONTE DRAGO (13) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VIKRANT (15) has four placings from seven starts this preparation and finished 7 lengths off the winner last start at this track, not the worst. VENEZIA FLAVOR (10) ran below her best last start when finishing well back from a wide draw over today's course and distance after being solidly backed. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from four runs. She strips fitter and should improve quickly. Each way value.
