GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Plenty of pace established by Earl Of Kent, Istros and Belleza Fin, with Bol close at hand. EARL OF KENT (2) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a neck over 1500m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Fitter and rates a key chance this line-up. ISTROS (11) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 920m at this track. Masaaki Ohata has been the pilot at his last two wins. Sure to play a big role. BELLEZA FIN (3) went forward last start over 1500m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Drawn to go forward again so anticipating another big run. BOL (4) scored last start at this track to make it three wins and two placings from six starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Deserves respect.
