GOING:

Race 8 1600m

Track:      

Bonny Majesty and Beiden Marina will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. ARES ELPIDA (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1600m at this track. Wada Joji scored on him last time and retains the ride. Capable of running another bold race. BONNY MAJESTY (2) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1650m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. BEIDEN MARINA (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1650m here. Key runner. NAMPASEN (5) won two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1650m at this track. Well placed to atone.
