GOING:

Race 3 1300m

Track:      

Strong early tempo assured with Crown Surprise, Built In A Day and Charmant Cherie locking horns. CROWN SURPRISE (1) has been knocking on the door with a couple of recent placings, the latest when third at this track, and gets some weight relief today. Likely to go forward from a nice draw and is among the leading chances. BATEAU BONHEUR (5) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing fourth. Ready to bounce back today. BEIGNET (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. CHARMANT CHERIE (4) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
