GOING:

Race 11 900m

Track:      

Break Neck to take charge ahead of Grand Valeur at a good tempo. GRAND VALEUR (5) took up the running and defied all challengers last time out at this track over 900m on April 12. Can go back-to-back. NO STANDARD (8) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 1.5 lengths over 900m here last time. In fine form and worth following up. NAGISANO BALCONY (1) finished out of the money when fourth in a 900m contest at this track two weeks ago. Well placed and tough to beat if near her best. BREAK NECK (3) is back at the races for the first time since December 28. Scored over 900m at this track to launch the last campaign. Has found the right race and is worth including.
