GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

In the absence of noted leaders, Derma Europa and Noah Pharaoh may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. NOAH PHARAOH (8) was below his best last time, finishing eighth over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PERSISTENCE (2) failed to figure again last time over 1300m at this track when finishing in ninth. Finds the right race to break through. DERMA EUROPA (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 11th over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. OISEAU D'OR (7) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was 12th over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
