GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Isla Azul to take up the running with Intensivo and Vuela Fuerte close at hand. VUELA FUERTE (6) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a nose over 1400m here last time. Goes well at this journey with three wins and three placings from seven starts and is among the leading chances. MIGRATEUR (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.8 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EINOSUKE (5) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can make amends. INTENSIVO (2) produced a better run last start, beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
