GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Patrol Run leading Montsaint Of Light. PATROL RUN (8) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. VORPAL SWORD (3) put the writing on the wall last start when she was always up in the leading division and was beaten just half a length into second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. VALAR (6) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1700m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CINNAMON CHOCOLAT (12) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish second over 1400m at this track after showing good early speed. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
