GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Fast pace with Chateau Bobby showing out and Sano Ken crossing to apply some pressure. PROFITEROLE (1) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but she is well placed and up to the task. BRICKS (3) did little and finished sixth over 1400m at this track last start. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. CHATEAU BOBBY (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Second up record is sound. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. ROSE LINE (9) ran below her best last start when tenth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Solid top-three hope.
