GOING: G

Race 8 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo from Takano Dream leading Floating Rose. ICE LARIMAR (10) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a seventh at this track two starts back then landed the prize by half a length as favourite last time out after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. FLOATING ROSE (2) is still a maiden after eight starts but was placed at this track when resuming before finishing fourth here last start. Fitter again and right in this. TAKANO DREAM (7) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 1600m at this track. He strips fitter and would not be a shock winner here. MEINER ODESSA (8) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 5 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. No surprise if he figures in the finish.
