GOING: G

Race 9 1500m

Track: GOOD      

No noted leader but Grand Havane Bleu, Yamatake Kochan and Marie Claude will be prominent. IN THE HOPPER (5) showed good early speed last start over this journey at this track before finishing third. In the right race and is a winning hope. PARTY KING (3) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to come on when seventh over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SPELL GASSAN (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, finishing fourth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. YAMATAKE KOCHAN (4) next best.
