GOING:

WWW.TAB4RACING.COM MR 78 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: STANDARD      

Hospices De Beaune to set a decent tempo from inside barrier, kept busy by the speedy duo Das Gute and Blame It On Me. FRENCH FLAME (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2 lengths over 1300m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and four minor placings from seven starts. Should be prominent from the low draw. Has the big claim and sure to be in the finish. HOSPICES DE BEAUNE (11) finished 11th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHERRY OH BABY (3) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1300m at this track at the latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. CHARLIE MALONE (8) finished third last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
