|---|---|---|---|---|

Pace strong with Eze Village and La La Cedratier leading with Tenku World nearby. LA LA CEDRATIER (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Can go on with it. CORTADO (5) continued the great form last start, scoring by half a length at this track over today's trip. Should measure up again. TENKU WORLD (9) used the rails draw to good effect last start, bouncing straight to the lead and scoring an all-the-way win over 1400m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. EZE VILLAGE (8) is back at the races for the first time since August 13. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
