GOING:

Race 7 1300m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Agrio may lead the way over Persistence. BRATTY KID (8) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by a neck over 1400m at this track. In great form and is well-placed to feature again. AGRIO (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. MICROMOSAIC (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHONAN LA JOIE (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
