GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Without an obvious leader it's likely Gregg could find himself in front. TAISEI QUEST (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he can go on with it. GREGG (1) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track before finishing third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Worth noting Maki Mukoyama goes aboard. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. SELES (3) is backing up nine days after finishing eighth over 1400m at this track. Well placed to atone. VILELA (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 19 lengths over 1400m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and cannot be taken lightly.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track on April 17 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Namura Daryl with 56kg at $2.30. The start before that won by 2 len at this track April 5 over 1400m defeating Fiordaliso with 56kg at $2.40. Has the right credentials.
