GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

Bachelo Rex is expected to lead at a keen tempo. BACHELO REX (8) just missed last time when a neck away in second at this track over 820m. Great chance to score. PINE PEACH (2) was far from disgraced when third last start over 820m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SUN VELOCE (6) finished eighth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 16 after she gave away a big start. Worth including in this suitable contest. CREPUSCULE (7) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a neck over 820m at this track. Can go back-to-back.
