GOING:

Race 6 1500m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but La Valse, New Divide and Mistra can take up forward spots. MISTRA (2) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to make an impact when eighth over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. RAPID FLOW (7) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on current form she is right in contention. NEW DIVIDE (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PARTY KING (8) performed above expectations last time over 1500m at this track, finishing a nose from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Settles back early but winds up late. Top three prospects.
