GOING: G

COUNTOFMONTECRISTO 2017 STAKES CLASS 4 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 31)    

Strong early tempo with King Of Sixty-One and Nature Chief leading the way over Blue Idol. KING'S GAMBIT (3) started at $2.20 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Can atone for that last run and take care of this field. PACIFIC BAO BEI (1) met with solid support last Sunday over 1600m at this track when sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has been in the money four times over this course and distance. Leading contender. STREET CRY SUCCESS (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. NATURE CHIEF (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 2000m. Should give this a mighty shake.
