GOING: S

Race 10 1800m

Track: SOFT      

Buzzutchi to set a keen tempo joined by Pocholada pushing on from an outside draw. POCHOLADA (10) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by a nose over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is clearly the one they have to beat. OLI LIO (14) finished 1.1 lengths from the winner in third in a much better run last time here over 1600m. Appeals over the extra ground. LA VRAIE BEAUTE (11) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1600m at this venue when she did her best work late. This looks a sterner test than last time but she is one of the chief contenders. MEINER ODESSA (12) finished 12 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent appearance over 2000m at this circuit. Is better than that and is likely to be thereabouts.
