GOING: D

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Daiyu Graf to take up the running at a moderate tempo. ABENTEUER (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Inside draw will assist and another bold showing is expected. DAIYU GRAF (8) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish a neck away in second over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed despite a difficult draw. Has the ability to play a significant role. PINAKA (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. GEMMY STAR (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Can go one better here.
