GOING:

Race 3 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Sadamu Mont Blanc probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. POP THAT BODY (4) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.1 lengths adrift in third over 1500m at this track when coming back from a spell. Should be winding up late again. CAPTAIN DUKE (10) broke through for his maiden win over 1200m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Drawn out a bit but he cannot be discounted. SADAMU MONT BLANC (5) was far from disgraced when fifth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MOON AND BUCK (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 16 lengths into tenth over 1200m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
