GOING:

RACING240 CLASSIFIED STAKES 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Genuine pace with Travel Master taking up the running ahead of Bandmaster and Royal Dawn. TRAVEL MASTER (4) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on July 24 over 1200m when he got home by a neck. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PALANCAR (2) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1300m contest at this track by 1.3 lengths. Race sets up well for him. PRINCE FLORIAN (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run 12 weeks ago when third, beaten 5 lengths. Looks a strong top-three prospect. HOSPICES DE BEAUNE (6) missed the frame last time when fifth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions.
