GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

Slick tempo with Dorval to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. DORVAL (1) has recorded wins at his last two starts, the latest over 1500m at this track by 2 lengths. In great form and should be right in the thick of things again. FARM FRESH (5) showed early speed from an outside draw last time out and led for much of the way before finding one better at the end of 1500m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. BLUE COMPACTA (4) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish third over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GENEROSITE (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Everything points towards a big run.
