GOING:

Race 7 850m

Track:      

There should be a bit of early pressure with Massilia and Earth Hour going forward in advance of Two M Pride and Grosser Bar. EARTH HOUR (3) has been thereabouts without breaking through, last time out finishing fourth over 850m at this track. Drawn well and this could be her chance. TWO M PRIDE (8) has registered three minor placings from three runs this preparation, finishing second last time out over 850m at this track. In a suitable race and can build on solid recent form. KATCHAO (7) improved last start but found a couple better over 850m at this track. Well placed and can feature here. CURREN EXCALIBUR (2) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 850m at this track. The engagement of Yuichi Sakaguchi is a positive move. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
