GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Nobu Eight and Belleza Fin leading the way. BRUSCHETTA (3) is in a purple patch of form with her third straight win coming last time out over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. NOBU EIGHT (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1700m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SATONO PATHOS (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KISMET (12) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in eighth over 1700m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
