GOING: G

Race 5 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting a strong gallop with Key Fine and Clam taking up the running over La Valse. KEY FINE (3) was prominent from the outset when third over 1400m at this track last time out. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. LA VALSE (7) showed good speed here last time over 1500m and led into the straight before being claimed and fading to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will give a sight. GOLD FLAVOR (11) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. LAMBDA (10) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Warrants plenty of respect.
