GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

God Amavel, Eze Village and Subarashii Hibi to take up the running at a decent tempo. GOD AMAVEL (10) held on well to finish third when first-up from a break last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Will take catching. NEUER HELD (5) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EZE VILLAGE (4) did a great job to score by 8 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DERMA VEDA (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1870m at this track, beaten 19 lengths into eighth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
