GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Copano Lancer and Deauville possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. COPANO LANCER (8) is a handy six-year-old entire who returned from a break last start and finished second over 1600m at this track. Fitter and a win will not surprise. CHUWA GIFT (3) managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last time. Likely to play a major role. DEAUVILLE (10) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track on May 13. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. One to consider. KITANO REGALO (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when seventh over 1400m at this track. Well placed to make amends.
