GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Miracolo Vague. MIRACOLO VAGUE (3) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 900m at this track, an improvement on his first-up eighth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAGANE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 9 lengths when seventh in a 1500m contest at this track eight days ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. STAY GREEN (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1500m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COSMO IVY (5) was beaten 39 lengths into seventh in a 1400m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
