|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Liberatio leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. HIERBA BUENA (10) has switched yards since finishing seventh six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Sonoda. Bright prospects. STEELOPOLIS (3) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 1300m at this track most recently. Key runner who should feature in the finish. NAMURA KAMIKAZE (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to turn things around. LIBERATIO (11) finished second over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance on February 25 2024. Has to be respected.
