GOING:

Race 7 1400m

Track:      

Espoir Droit has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. TRIXI (6) finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 800m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. The one to beat in this line up. MR YOSSHA (3) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. DERMA RED STAR (8) finished fourth last start over 800m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Must be included among the main hopes. MOZU LUCKY (2) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing 9 lengths away in 12th over 1800m. Can feature back at this level.
