GOING:

Race 1 820m

Track:      

Moderate pace only with Tail Venus leading Libellula. BAIKAL (1) finished out of the money when fourth in an 820m contest at this track three weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MOULIN CHATAIN (10) started at $9.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 820m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. UKRAINE EYES (12) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 820m at this track. Fitter and can make amends. LIBELLULA (7) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 820m at this track. Nicely placed to go a couple better.
