GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Rugger Princess leading Cavalli Alti. CAVALLI ALTI (1) finished a solid second last start over 820m at this track after racing prominently throughout. Looks well suited to settle just off the pace and is expected to be heavily involved in the finish. MAPLE DREFONG (2) improved last time out when fourth here after missing the placings two starts back, showing he is ready to fire in a suitable assignment. RUNRUN BEAM (3) was safely held on resuming from a spell last start over this trip, starting well in the market, but looks set to make a stronger impact second-up. AL RIHLA (4) closed into fifth last time and is nicely drawn to feature prominently in the finish this outing.
