GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Good pace headed by Ten Felice, Perles Celestes and Vip Akua, with Conti Tohoku and Grand Jour close by. APOLLO PLANET (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can figure in the finish. TEN FELICE (1) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. VIP AKUA (6) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing third over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. PERLES CELESTES (2) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
