GOING:

Race 10 1400m

Track:      

Iks Clover should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. SEUL ET PATRIOTE (4) drifted back and never threatened when sixth last start over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone. FEEL MY WAY (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1600m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. TREPAK (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. RARIA (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver so plenty to like about her chances.
