GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Naeil Na and Reward Imperio ahead of Resurrectio and Nil Admirari. REWARD IMPERIO (9) finished fifth last start, beaten only 1.2 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from four starts. Taichi Nagamori who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Top chance. RESURRECTIO (10) ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. NAEIL NA (2) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track but was solid when sixth. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Likely improver with good prospects. DARMSTADT (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1600m.
