GOING:

Race 8 820m

Track:      

Bellagio Manami, Kuschel and Blessing Isle to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. KUSCHEL (8) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 820m at this track. Has won three races at this course and distance from nine tries. Suited here and a win will not surprise. VIP NADJA (7) has a moderate winning strike rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third at the end of 820m. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a key engagement. Well placed and in the mix. BLESSING ISLE (2) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Among the chances again. PALLADIUM RIBBON (3) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 5 lengths at this track over 820m. Can go back-to-back.
