GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Good pace with Purple Rouge, Rei Natia and Surreal prominent. MEINER MEDDLING (10) solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1500m, beaten half a length. Has been in the top three at all four starts here, including two wins. Will be hard to stop. EARTHNOID (11) turned in a fine effort to score by a neck at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. PURPLE ROUGE (7) finished sixth last time out at this track over 1700m. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. One of the main contenders. SURREAL (12) scored two back but was below her best last time when seventh over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
