GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure on from the outset. RED ACTEUR (8) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1230m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. DAME SUNRISE (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at this track over 1400m on April 17. F Komaki stays aboard. Sure to run well. LA ROYALE (1) kept coming to finish on the winner's heels last start over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BALL THE MAHONEY (6) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Best form measures up and he looks a chance.
