GOING:

Race 7 1600m

Track:      

Lots of pace on paper so expect a genuine tempo. MANA RASPBERRY (3) turned in an eye-catching run over 1400m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and five minor placings from 10 runs. A bold showing is likely. PATRIE (1) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Appeals as a leading player. VAL DE MARNE (9) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1600m, beaten one length. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Looks one of the prime contenders. ARS ANTIQUA (5) was third last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
