GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Olperer. KREISLER (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start. Looks well placed so expect another big run. OLPERER (1) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by half a length at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from six runs. Sure to be very competitive again. FEE DES FLEURS (12) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago. Can make her presence felt. YUKI HYAKUBAI (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
