GOING:

Race 2 1500m

Track:      

Bye Bye Darling to take charge ahead of Stratified at a solid tempo. BYE BYE DARLING (8) has an excellent winning record with three wins from seven starts. Added to his reputation at the most recent appearance when he scored by one length over 1500m at this track. Leading contender. FLECHE NOIR (5) came home strongly last start to finish second, only beaten half a length, over 1500m at this track. Leading player again. HAPPY DREAM (9) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1500m at this track, beaten one length. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. BY MYSELF (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Has his share of talent and can feature.
