GOING:

Race 8 900m

Track:      

Expecting a slick tempo with Parkour Cheko, Lala Roidesanimaux and Kotono Sansho leading the way. BONNARD (8) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over this track and trip. Likely improver with strong prospects. LEMON GRASS (2) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. LALA ROIDESANIMAUX (10) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 900m at this track. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. PARKOUR CHEKO (5) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start. Has the ability to mix it with them.
