GOING:

Race 10 1870m

Track:      

The speedy Obotchama should find the front with Happy Yellow and La La Terroir on his heels. OBOTCHAMA (3) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1700m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and is the testing material. LA LA TERROIR (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Well-placed and is a hope. HAPPY YELLOW (2) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1870m at this track. Form this track is hard to knock and is sure to be competitive. MEINER AEGIS (8) returns from a spell of five months and did win first-up last time in work over 1700m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
