GOING: G

Race 6 1400m

Track: GOOD     True  

Strong early tempo with Afro Prince using the inside alley to advantage, joined by the speedy Saphir Ciel. AFRO PRINCE (1) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten a neck into second over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent from the low draw. Ideally placed to break through. STOLLEN (5) broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. GOLDEN CROWN (9) ran below expectations last time when seventh over 1600m at this track but is back in trip this time. Rates well and expected to do much better. PIERRE TEXAS (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1400m. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
