GOING:

Race 5 1300m

Track:      

Petal Bijou should find the front with Debug and Full Metal Lady on her heels. DEBUG (4) impressed last time with a 6 length win at this track over this journey. Has been in solid form this campaign with four wins to his name. Expected to be in the finish. PETAL BIJOU (6) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by half a length last time out over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. NORTH THE WORLD (10) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Won't find this as tough so he is ready to find the winners' list. NOAH PHARAOH (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when ninth over 1600m at this track, beaten 45 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
