GOING:

Race 10 1600m

Track:      

Expecting Erz to take up the running with Buzzutchi and Forza close at hand. ERZ (7) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1600m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. CARTE MAITRESSE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Fitter so expect a better run this time. BUZZUTCHI (3) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. QUEEN CATHERINE (6) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for third. Will be doing her best work late.
