GOING:

Race 2 1000m

Track:      

Expecting Castanea Rose to take up the running with Chrome Boy and Zarina Iran close at hand. BELIEVE THE WEST (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.5 lengths away in second after he got a long way back in the run over 1000m at this track. Has the class to find the winners' list. CHROME BOY (4) has been right there of late, the latest when 2.75 lengths away in third over 1000m here when he was prominent throughout. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. CASTANEA ROSE (12) went forward last start over 1000m at this circuit and held on well for second, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MIRAGE FLEUR (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1000m at this venue after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has her share of talent and is a definite top-three prospect.
