GOING: G

Race 8 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Vitoria Reza and Olperer possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. PALO SANTO (1) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten a nose, over 1400m at this track. Profiles nicely. VITORIA REZA (10) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fourth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Expected to be in the finish. CONCENTRE (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Mai Fukuhara gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Likely improver with strong prospects. NOBLE PLATINA (11) scored over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 23. Has to be respected.
