GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Yuna Pink Gold and Grande Diva leading the charge. MITTELRHEIN (10) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within her grasp. GRAND VERSEAU (6) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by half a length. Among the winning hopes again. YUNA PINK GOLD (4) saluted here two runs ago then finished second over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck, last time out. Can feature. AGNES HERO (7) was seventh at the second run back from a break over 1400m at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
