GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Not seeing a great deal of early speed. VOLENTIERI (8) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Should be all set for a strong run. ALPHA VEGA (9) made progress last time out, finishing third when she worked home well at the end of 1400m at this track. Has her share of ability and finds a suitable race. QUEEN'S GANACHE (6) missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 1500m at this track, finishing sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRAN RIDGE LINE (4) produced another moderate effort last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
