GOING:

Race 9 1870m

Track:      

Plenty of pace evident with Collegium and Peptide Shinano leading the way from Shibanosutomukitto and Puff Of Wind. COLLEGIUM (4) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Likely to feature. NARITA SERENO (5) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell when finishing sixth over 1700m at this track. Capable of playing a major role fresh. PUFF OF WIND (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1700m at this track. Going well and rates highly. GRAND COSME (8) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1700m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
