GOING:

Race 10 920m

Track:      

Expecting Val De Grace to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. VAL DE GRACE (4) is racing well and went down by just 0.8 lengths when second at this track over 920m last time out. Leading prospect. OVER DRIVE (11) improved last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. ONE HEART (10) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. EAU SCINTILLANTE (2) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh here over 1400m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
