GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Treasure Blue to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ALZARD (9) improved last time out to score by a neck as public elect over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. ULTIMO (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1400m here after a win at Sonoda the start prior. Can give this a shake. PIECE D'ARGENT (3) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1400m here following a win at Sonoda at the previous outing. Can make amends. LILY PARK (1) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Rates highly on best efforts and can do better this time.
