GOING:

Race 12 1800m

Track:      

Por La Noche to find the front in the small field. LOVE LOVE PYRO (6) returned to winning form last start, scoring by a head over this journey at Ohi. Has a sound record at this journey with four wins and three minor placings. Rates highly and should go well. POR LA NOCHE (5) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1600m. Justified the strong support last time and is expected to be in the finish again. SUN EAU CLAIRE (4) lines up for the first time since May 14. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1870m at Sonoda. Sure to make her presence felt. NOTTE LUNA (1) improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten just one length. Can feature again.
