GOING:

Race 7 1500m

Track:      

Pace solid from Cat Sunrise going forward from an outside draw along with Efface Derriere. EFFACE DERRIERE (5) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ALBA PATERA (2) turned in a modest performance when sixth last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 10 lengths after being in contention on the bend. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Has the ability to take this out. BIO MAX (6) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when eighth, beaten 9 lengths. Can bounce back. BELLEFONT (7) was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see her in the mix.
