GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

No noted leader but Chateau Bobby, R Wizard and Crimson Red will be prominent. R WIZARD (3) is usually thereabouts but doesn't win out of turn. Tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. SUN ELSA (10) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CRIMSON RED (7) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings. One to consider. ITCHO (5) lines up on the back of finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders.
