GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Macario and Anthem Barows possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. BOX OFFICE (11) was safely held last time when fifth at today's course and distance after meeting with market support. Has a wide gate to contend with again. Better than the latest effort and gets a chance to show his best. JASPER NOIR (5) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was 18th over 1200m at Kyoto. Beautifully placed and look for an improved run at this level. LUXE DREFONG (2) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1700m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to feature. ANTHEM BAROWS (10) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten a head into second over 1700m at this track. One of the better hopes.
