GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Icarus Cafe and Bel Justina matching motors. BEL JUSTINA (3) launched her career with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when fourth over 1200m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. ICARUS CAFE (1) did little when finishing ninth over 1200m at this track last start after being in the firing line on the turn, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEINER BRAVO (10) is yet to break through in seven runs. Finished rearward against tougher opposition over 1800m at Tokyo on May 19. Worth including in this suitable contest. SIGLA DEA (5) was unplaced last start over 1000m at this track. Better placed this time and warrants respect.
