GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Good pace headed by Shabby Chic, Sorcellerie and Sunshine Donau, with Libera Me and Abenteuer close by. SUNSHINE DONAU (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ABENTEUER (7) is a 19-start maiden but does look to be edging towards a win, the latest effort an encouraging second at this track over 1500m after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SORCELLERIE (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LIBERA ME (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 14 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
