GOING: G

Race 7 900m

Track: GOOD      

Vip Regius and Kannon Animo to set a strong tempo, joined by Look At Me looking to cross. MOULIN ALEZAN (4) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. D'S ROUGE (2) is back from a spell of eight months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 900m at this track. Likely to take beating. BIRTH FLOWER (1) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when second over 900m at this track. Rates strongly here on last start and can find best form. LOOK AT ME (12) turned things around last start and got the job done by 3 lengths over 900m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
