|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Notorix and El Romiachi. COASTAL PATH (2) lines up for the first time since February 27. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Consistent record here. Back a notch and expected to prove hard to beat. RAVILIOUS (1) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALWAYS SHINING (4) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fourth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Fairview then improved and scored over 1300m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by 5.5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. PRINCE FLORIAN (5) is resuming from a spell of three months and having his first run for the Tara Laing yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 1300m.
