GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from Meiner Oscar, Hardy Rose and Je Vous Aime matching motors ahead of Mononofu Blue. MONONOFU BLUE (11) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing seventh. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. He's better than he showed last time out and is likely to bounce back in a big way. DANON CHAOS (10) was below his best last time, finishing ninth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. LITTLE PINE GOOD (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner. Has a strong record here at this trip with two wins from four runs. Everything points to a big run. JE VOUS AIME (8) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, crossing the line in seventh over 1400m at this track. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and five minor placings from 11 runs. Can figure in the outcome.
