GOING: S

Race 9 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Good pace expected with Gravity Model, Asia Jennifer and Glorious Line paving the way. RAPIDE (13) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start second over 1600m at this track. Loads of ability and can return to winning form. GRAVITY MODEL (9) resumes in a similar race to his last run six months ago when eighth, beaten 5 lengths. Comes here with definite claims. SILENT BLACK (4) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1600m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. GLORIOUS LINE (10) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
