GOING: FM

Race 2 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Margot Beat is expected to lead at a keen tempo. MARGOT BEAT (8) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1200m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. NOT IN THE EYE (7) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 1200m at this track. Races well when second-up. Among the leading chances. PEGASE BRILLER (10) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AI BRIGHT (12) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in seventh at his most recent outing over 1200m at this track. Likely to be thereabouts.
