GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Love Me Monica to take up the running at a moderate tempo. SKY PEACE (2) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1400m at this track last time. Winning rider aboard again and is a top chance. LOVELY DISC (6) has been well held since winning three starts back, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track last time out. Finds a nice race and deserves another chance. VIGOUREUSEMENT (3) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, beaten a neck. Nice alley and should run well. LOVE ME MONICA (7) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a far better run. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field.
