GOING:

Race 7 2000m

Track:      

Yuyu Presence should lead and control the tempo. YUYU PRESENCE (3) bounced back last start and got the job done by 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 2000m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. M O SWEET (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 2000m after being in the firing line on the turn. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BEL ROUTE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2000m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LE GRAND BLEU (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 2000m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
