GOING:

Race 7 1200m

Track:      

Strong tempo assured with Seiten, Magician Girl and Saphir Ciel rolling to the front. MAGICIAN GIRL (8) was below her best last time when sixth over 1200m at this track after a win here over this trip two back. Rates highly and can bounce back. LEGEND WAY (6) started this preparation with a win two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. RIKO STEYR (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1200m at this track. One of the main contenders. ECLAT CIEL (9) was below his best last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
