GOING:

Race 8 1500m

Track:      

Expecting Lovers Blue to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. CELLIST (7) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up performance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AL QUDRA (10) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can make amends. TRUST YOU (6) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 8 lengths. Shaping up nicely and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. LOVERS BLUE (5) finished second last time over 1500m at this track, beaten a neck. Will trim down following recent racing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Anticipating another forward showing.
