GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Ask Vue Reve More, Bellagio Hope and Neujahr leading the way. ASK VUE REVE MORE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Expect another forward showing. NEUJAHR (5) displayed plenty of early toe over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by 9 lengths. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. DREAMLIKE (12) finished third over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Hard to beat on his form from two starts ago. RADIANT HORSE (6) made progress last time out, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.
