GOING:

Race 2 1230m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Methode and Hina Decollete leading the way. BELLE DEESSE (10) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Strong winning chance. HINA DECOLLETE (4) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1400m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ALBATRON (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. RAICHAN (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1230m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
