Race 2 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Moderate tempo expected with Forewind likely to find the front over Cherbourg Rain and Grun Wald. GRUN WALD (5) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep five-and-a-half months ago when he scored by 30 lengths. Strong chance while fresh. JUSTIN BOLT (1) was in the money two starts back here but couldn't back it up last time when eighth at this track over 1400m. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. CHERBOURG RAIN (3) could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes. FOREWIND (8) was fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1400m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Can turn things around.
