GOING:

Race 3 1100m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Battler Valu leading from Bellagio Sakura and M T Berry. BATTLER VALU (7) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was prominent at the turn before being beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth over 1100m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. BABY NONCHAN (11) surprised many last time when a close fifth over 1200m at this track. Expecting another bold showing. PYRENEES (2) ran above expectations and got up for third at very long odds at her latest appearance at this track over 1100m. Good signs last time and is capable of another bold performance. LA VIE ART (10) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1100m at this track. Top-three prospects.
