GOING: G

Race 5 1500m

Track: GOOD     True  

Congrazia should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. CONGRAZIA (4) has scored at her last three starts, most recently by 8 lengths over 1500m at Kawasaki as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from five outings. Top chance again. GOLD MOTION (11) is an eight-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. ZEPHYR AILE (6) finished fifth last start over 1200m at this track. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. KOBINAI FOUNTAIN (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
