GOING:

Race 11 2000m

Track:      

Ange Mistral and Red Weiss to battle for the leading role. MELOS GO (8) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with three placings from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. ANGE MISTRAL (6) is a multiple winner who is yet to miss the frame in five starts. Has not been produced since she got the prize over 1500m at this track on July 15. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. GLORIOUS MAY (3) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 4 lengths over 2000m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and she looms as a significant threat. LUCKY CLOVER (1) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten a neck, over 2000m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
