GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo expected with Pillage likely to find the front over Windy and Bleu Chateau. BLEU CHATEAU (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. PILLAGE (8) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Worth noting Ryo Takamatsu goes aboard. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. WINDY (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth starting at $6.90. Finds a nice race and can atone. CHAMBRAY (10) was eighth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
