GOING:

Race 11 1500m

Track:      

Solid pace with Shelly finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. MILD EVENING (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, only beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1400m at this track when coming back from a spell. Fitter and will give a great sight. COMMENT ALLEZVOUS (1) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1800m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Can measure up again. BAN NYU (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 800m at this track. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. STAR EYE SEIRA (12) improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Anticipating another big run.
