GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Kurino Success, Pandeiro and Vigoureusement can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. COMBAT SPOON (1) resumed last time out and finished third over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Is very effective at this distance and is a leading contender. YAMANIN FARIDA (3) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished second over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver. VIGOUREUSEMENT (12) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming but raced below expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing tenth. Can atone. ELMO D'ORO (6) missed the frame last start when ninth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
