GOING:

Race 4 1500m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Fleche Noir from his wide gate. BRIGHT BEGINNING (10) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a length away in second last time over 1700m at this track. Well placed and worth another chance. EPIC CYCLE (3) finished fifth last time out here. Nicely placed and expected to go well. FLECHE NOIR (11) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a third here. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. TAGANO POSTMAN (6) is better placed this time in a thin contest.
