GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

A strong tempo assured with Meisho Felio and Satono Minerva leading the charge. MEISHO FELIO (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant 4 lengths win over 1300m at this track, making it three wins in a row. Can continue to build on the strong recent form. FOURRE DROLE (10) settled well back last start and never threatened when finishing seventh over 1750m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. SATONO MINERVA (7) closed last prep with a disappointing eighth over 1800m at this track. Back for a new campaign with a change of rider. Should park just off the speed. Winning claims on best figures. BEIGNET (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
