GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Grand Centre to take charge ahead of Patrol Run at a good tempo. GRAND CENTRE (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Sure to go well. PATROL RUN (3) finished fifth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 30. Likely to be in the finish here. CHATEAU EZE (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a nine-month break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Can pick up where he left off. Among the leading chances. RYUNO TSUKAI (1) finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 820m at this track. Out in trip and has claims.
