Race 12 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace should be on from the outset with Love And Grace, Royal Natal and Rapide Belle going hard, closely attended by Merkur. RAPIDE BELLE (12) was close to breaking through last time in work, closing the prep as favourite and finishing second at Himeji before a ten week break. Drawn out which makes the job a little harder but can go well. ROYAL NATAL (10) turned in a fine effort to win by 7 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Likely to be there at the finish again. MAYON (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth at the end of 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SNARK YUMA (7) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only a nose, over 1400m at this track. Has claims.
