GOING:

Race 12 820m

Track:      

Off the inside draw Lune D'amour should boot up and lead at a solid tempo. LACUS GAUDII (4) improved last start but found one better over 820m at this track. A repeat of the latest can see him take a hand in the finish. LUNE D'AMOUR (1) returns from a spell of six months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished tenth at this track over 820m when first-up last time in work. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. MARINA SUNRISE (7) finished tenth over 1400m at this track at her most recent appearance on March 11. Expect her to be primed for this. OMEGA PRINTEMPS (8) was fifth in an 820m contest at this track two weeks ago. Strong top-three prospects.
