GOING:

Race 5 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Genuine tempo from Grace Chocolat leading Elf Saien. YAMANIN LIRIO (3) was below her best last time out when midfield over 1200m at this track. Generally going well with placings at two of four starts this preparation and can break through here. ELF SAIEN (1) has started this campaign in poor form, last start finishing seventh over 1000m at this track. Has ability and is worth another chance out in trip. ONDORI TAIZAN (6) was below his best last time, finishing eighth over 1600m at this track. Rates highly on best form so he can turn things around here. SATONO SOLARE (9) will be rock-hard fit now following a nice effort at this track last start when fourth. Can feature.
