GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Do The Catch to take up the running at a moderate tempo. AMMODO (4) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1400m. Fitter for that run and capable of going close. DO THE CATCH (8) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m here. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. LA LA TERROIR (9) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth starting at $7.50. Taking on a better line-up this time but can't be underestimated. INTERLUDE (3) last raced on March 12 when seventh at this track over 1230m. In the mix.
