CELEBRATING CENTURION MEMBER TORBEN HERBOLD'S BIRTHDAY CLASS 5 1400m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 22) |

Plenty of pressure from Mont Loisir, Ischyro and Avignon battling for the lead over Fly To Rio. MONT LOISIR (1) raced from just off the pace over 1200m last time, but found one too good on the day. He has won once and finished second twice from seven starts over this course and distance. He won his penultimate start under Richard Fourie and the combination merit healthy respect. TRES CHIC (8) has fair recent form lines to her credit. She has won once, finished second once and third once from five starts over this distance. She jumps from an awkward draw of eight and she will be staying on at the business end. MELA STRENGTH (2) returned from a spell last start and finished sixth over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish. AVIGNON (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race when fourth last time out over 1200m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish.
