GOING:

Race 9 2000m

Track:      

Bordeaux Riskless and Realiser can set an even tempo. DRAGON LUCK (1) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths at this track over today's trip. Hard to knock and should go well again. BORDEAUX RISKLESS (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1500m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. MEMORY DRIVE (10) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by one length over 1700m at this track. Katsuki Niwa scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. ESTA BONITO (7) was on the speed from the rails draw last start and battled on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
