GOING: S

Race 8 1200m

Track: SOFT     True  

Slick tempo with Vivant Rally to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. POISON NOIR (1) finished third when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite over 1200m at this track. A repeat of the latest can see her take a hand in the finish. FESTIVE LUDI (6) was successful last start over 1200m at this track, getting home by 3.5 lengths to make it three wins on the bounce. Well placed and can score again. DEFI RALLY (9) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1200m at this track when beaten only 0.8 lengths. Should be involved in the finish. VIVANT RALLY (11) resumes in a similar race to his last run ten weeks ago when seventh. Can make his presence felt.
