GOING:

Race 2 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Combat Ange, Summer Bride and Lycka Krona going forward. SUMMER BRIDE (3) fought on well to finish second last start over this course and distance, beaten less than a length. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. CURREN THE BOUQUET (2) was prominent in the run and gave a big sight when second over 1200m at this track just eight days ago. Draws in close and is a definite winning chance. CRANE PERDITA (9) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth here. Among the chances. LEGAL SPEED (7) could only manage sixth at this track last time out but is capable of better. Not dismissing.
