GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Slick pace with Eukleia finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. VASCULARITY (2) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. EUKLEIA (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths starting at $6. Finds a nice race and can make amends. DACITAPIT (6) is a 11-start maiden who finished tenth, beaten 15 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. PROMETEDOR (3) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.
