GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Nac Express should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. ABENTEUER (5) followed a win here two starts ago with a second last start over 1500m at this track. Well placed and is a leading player. HO O CAESAR (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. NAC EXPRESS (6) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second here two starts back then landed the prize by one length last time out over 1400m at this track. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. CROSS AVANCE (2) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a head over 1400m at this track. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
