GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo set by Allure Reve and Smile Amazones. ALLURE REVE (8) is a talented galloper who scored at this track last time and is unbeaten after three runs. Can't knock current form and will go close again. SMILE AMAZONES (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.5 lengths away in second over 1230m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. TIGER GREAT (3) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1230m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Nicely drawn and he is right in the mix again. ANGLER (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1230m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Not far away last time and is in the mix.
