GOING:

Race 8 1580m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Chateau Periotto. MIRACLE BORN (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by a neck. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and he is a leading contender. CHATEAU PERIOTTO (5) started at $5.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1580m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WE STINGER (7) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by one length over 1400m. Expected to feature. SUSSAN FIRST (10) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1580m contest at this track last time out by a head. Among the main hopes.
