GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Jhang Maghiana and Climb Angel to lead the way over Monge Gift and Myr. MYR (1) is in sparkling form, scoring at her last three starts, the latest win coming over 1400m at this track. Back to the scene of the last success so will be hard to beat again. On top. JHANG MAGHIANA (7) looks close to a win after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, including a third most recently over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and is the main threat to the top pick. CLIMB ANGEL (3) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. She strips fitter so anticipating a better run this time. MONGE GIFT (5) is back at the races for the first time since June 19. Scored over 1400m at this track to launch the last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal and a market watch is advised.
