GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with B I Black leading the way. DEL MIO CUORE (6) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMART MANALIS (2) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. B I BLACK (4) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 800m at this track. One to consider. NEEDLESS TO SAY (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a big role.
