GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Hot tempo expected from Dona Aphrodite and Hutan Beat. HUTAN BEAT (8) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1600m. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. GLOIRE SKY (11) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of another big run. ARMIN TESORO (4) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1600m at this track at the start of last prep. Boasts an unbeaten first-up record from two runs. Makes plenty of appeal. DONA APHRODITE (10) has switched yards since finishing second seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1750m at Saga.
