GOING:

Race 8 900m

Track:      

Monge Spy is the likely leader at a strong tempo. MONGE SPY (3) is a progressive four-year-old entire who hasn't raced since finishing second over 900m at this track on March 12 2024. Has the speed to be prominent and is expected to be in the finish. POD LEO (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 900m at this venue. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ISOE VIKRANT (4) is having his first run since September 4. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 900m at this circuit at the start of last prep. Winning chance while fresh. TONY PRINCE (10) returns from a spell of six months and did win first-up last time in work over 900m at this venue. Worth plenty of thought.
