GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Looks a decent tempo with Mon Cheval, Whitening and So Mighty leading the charge. INTACT (3) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Has ability and is among the leading hopes. MON CHEVAL (9) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing a long neck away in third over 1400m at this track. Sure to give a sight. VICTORY EYE (1) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. PAY BASQUE (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish second over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so she should be in contention again.
