GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but Farm Fresh, Bordeaux Griffon and Eucalyptus can take up forward spots. FARM FRESH (8) ran on stoutly fresh up when finishing fourth on this track 16 days ago and will naturally improve second up. She is normally consistent when fit and should figure in the top 3 this time. RARE REAL NORVE (9) finished third in the same race as the top pick last time out and has won 2 of her 4 starts when third up from a spell in the past. There will be no fancy money this time, and she will be hard to hold out. EUCALYPTUS (1) was beaten by a wide draw when resuming from a spell here a fortnight ago. He has found it hard to win another race, but with the advantage of the pole position here, he can figure in the finish. Include in all multiples. FOR THULE (5) is a durable veteran who has only been sparingly raced this year. He strips fitter second up and is not the worst for first four bets.
