GOING:

Race 4 1600m

Track:      

Metus and Sable Mirage will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. LA GRACE DU CIEL (4) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from six outings. Big chance once again. METUS (1) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 1400m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ARUMAMA (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to get the prize. WONDER CATALINA (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a 12th over 1300m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role.
