GOING: G

Race 6 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Plenty of pace evident with Pandeiro and G Soul Brother leading the way from Dominate City and Welt Krieger. DOMINATE CITY (8) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1400m at Urawa. Ideally placed to score while fresh. PINO MORAN (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1500m at Urawa. Likely improver with strong prospects. PANDEIRO (5) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at Urawa after leading for much of the way. Can feature in the finish. CALZETTA (6) went close when finishing second last start. Next best.
