GOING:

Race 3 1400m

Track:      

Bob's Yer Uncle and Derma Azrael will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. MISHIRO WAY (2) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Suitably placed and in the mix. DERMA AZRAEL (11) returns after a spell of five months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Has found the right race. BOB'S YER UNCLE (4) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Well-placed to feature. AGRODOLCE (5) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. Another bold effort is on the cards.
