GOING:

Race 6 1580m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Gorgeous Lady and Kaito Berg up front. GORGEOUS LADY (6) has been about the money with two minor placings from four starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1580m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts her right in this. ESPELHAR (5) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when ninth here over 1400m. Out in trip and nicely placed to bounce back. WIN RAMESSES (2) is a consistent performer with five minor placings from six starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Anticipating another big run. REAL KAISER (4) improved last start but found a couple better over 1580m at this track. This looks a good race for him to break through.
