GOING:

Race 8 1230m

Track:      

Small field that lacks a pacemaker so a modest tempo is likely. FLORAL DRESS (5) was well fancied last start over 1230m at this track when second. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Sure to run well. MOSHO (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in fourth over 1230m at this track. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. AMERICAN BABY (2) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 820m at this track. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. PUSH YOURSELF (3) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
