GOING: G

THE FRENCH MAY TROPHY (HANDICAP) 1200m Track: GOOD
Plenty of pace likely with Diamond Flare and Beauty Destiny battling for the lead ahead of Tattenham. DIAMOND FLARE (4) led them up here last week and was only collared late, beaten 1.5L over this track and trip. He draws slightly better this time and he might be able to get a softer time of it out in front. Racing well and can make every post a winner. LYRICAL MOTION (3) ran on well from a long way back here 56 days ago and comes into this on the fresh side. Wong has a good record when riding and he takes 4.5kgs off with the claim. Can stalk the speed from an inside alley and get over the top of them late. EASY SNIP (2) can mix his form a bit but there's no doubt his best is good enough to be winning. Drawn nicely for Chau who has been on board of late and the pace should be solid out in front, suiting his pattern. Watch for him late. GOLDEN LINK (6) got the job done comfortably last start and it wouldn't surprise to see him go on with the job.
