GOING:

Race 8 850m

Track:      

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. MASSILIA (8) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 2 lengths away in third last time over 850m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. YUKINO MATSUSHIMA (4) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 850m, beaten a neck. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Top chance. FARROKH (1) finished 2.5 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 850m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One to consider. IDOL FESTA (5) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth in a 850m contest at this track two weeks ago. One of the chances.
