GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Great Stick. BELLAGIO EMPEROR (10) resumes after a break of eight months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1000m at this track. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. KAMIWA MATTEIRU (5) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months and does go well first-up, including a win to launch last campaign over 1200m at this track. Winning chance fresh. NEW ALIVE (9) resumes after a break of eight months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1700m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. HEARTY EYES (7) missed the frame last start over 900m at Kawasaki when ninth. Well placed to make amends out in trip.
