GOING:

Race 12 1700m

Track:      

Plenty of pace likely from Star Impact, Orso Bianco and Flora Venus battling for the lead from The Havel. FLORA VENUS (9) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Has a strong record at this course, scoring six times from 12 starts. Expected to be in the finish. PARTIDA (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1500m at this track. Strong prospects. AFROBEAT (5) did well last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. A SHIN GO ON (11) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Profiles to run well.
