GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Go Go Croix to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SALUD DE GLASS (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed and can go one better. BELLAGIO JUPITER (1) went fast early and went on to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. GO GO CROIX (2) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. The engagement of Tsutsui Yusuke is a positive move. Has the talent to find the winners' list. VERMEIL DOLL (5) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. In contention this time.
