GOING:

Race 3 800m

Track:      

A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. CONDUCT (5) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when tenth, beaten 19 lengths. Back in trip and worth another chance. ANGEL MOMO (8) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. CONTRIBUTE (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 8 lengths, over 800m at this track after he settled well back. Has further improvement to come and will be tough to beat. HAMBURG HAMMER (2) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track, beaten 23 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
