Race 2 1400m

Expecting the highly-fancied Belle Girouette to set a genuine tempo. BELLE GIROUETTE (5) has a win and five placings at this journey from 12 starts. Expected to go close. MEDIUM (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 15 lengths when in the market. Rates highly here and expected to atone for last run. GENIO (9) finished sixth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to be competitive. ASTER VIOLA (1) drifted back and settled near the tail over 1600m here last time but failed to come on when seventh, beaten 16 lengths. Better than latest and can atone.
