GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Moderate pace from Montserrat taking it up with Nan Bei Qu and Dragon's Back on her back. DRAGON'S BACK (11) in-form galloper who brought up a hat-trick of wins with success at the course and distance last time. The one to beat again. MONTSERRAT (3) finished fourth last start over 1300m at this track. Well-drawn here and has top-three prospects. AFTER BEAT (4) finished out of the money when fourth over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. NAN BEI QU (2) drifted back when resuming last start over 1300m at this track and failed to threaten. Fitter and can make an impact here.
