GOING: S

Race 7 1700m

Track: SOFT     True  

Genuine pace with Rimshot taking up the running ahead of Airplay and Yellow Iris. RIMSHOT (9) started at $2.60 last time but could only manage tenth, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 1700m. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and two minor placings from four starts. A bold showing is likely. AIRPLAY (1) clocked-in second behind Passion Prima when first up from a spell last time out at this track over 1200m. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. Sure to run well. YELLOW IRIS (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 11th, beaten 9 lengths, over 1700m at this track after she was in contention on the turn. Cherry-ripe now and is sure to be about the mark. TRES BIEN COURIR (10) was beaten 8 lengths into fifth in a 1200m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
