GOING:

Race 2 820m

Track:      

My Charge is expected to lead at a slick tempo. CAVALLI ALTI (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 820m at this track. Should be primed for this. MY CHARGE (9) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold third over 820m at this track. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. A SHIN BIRMAN (8) finished 11th at her last appearance over 1230m at this track on April 2. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. AL RASHID (5) finished 12th at his most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Can contest for a place here.
