GOING:

Race 6 820m

Track:      

Babe to push forward on the fence and lead a race lacking pace. BABE (1) met with solid support last start over 820m at this track when third. Has a formidable record at this journey with six wins and five placings from 15 starts and should prove tough to beat. KATTEMIRU (9) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 820m at this track. Improver who comes into calculations. ODILIA (5) finished out of the money when tenth in an 820m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed and in the mix. ASTRIT (3) was out of the money last start over 820m at this track when seventh. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
