GOING: G

Race 8 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. IMPERIO (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. BLEUE LIBELLULE (8) put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell at this circuit. Record at this journey is strong with two wins and a placing from four runs and is sure to play a big role. YUMEGOTEN (9) turned in a modest performance when fifth last start over 1400m here, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NAC LEGAL (2) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1200m at this venue, beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
