GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Vento Di Pace to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. LEO MAGNIFIQUE (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a low draw and he looks certain to measure up again. ODD NUMBER (4) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out to score by 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. VENTO DI PACE (5) showed good early pace over 1400m at this track last time and kept going to score by 2.5 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can mix it with them. OE KINTOKI (2) finished back in seventh over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Can bounce back to winning form.
