GOING: S

Race 7 1800m

Track: SOFT      

Plenty of speed with God Burg, Diarmuid and Wurdig leading Admire Ear and Parmigianino. ADMIRE EAR (4) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. WURDIG (8) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten a nose, over 1600m at this track at the latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tsubasa Sasagawa stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. DIARMUID (1) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. VENT D'HIVER (7) is a promising galloper who saluted at his last run before a break three-and-a-half months ago over 1600m at this track. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Has a very good record here with four wins from five starts. Too good to ignore.
