GOING: S

Race 9 1800m

Track: SOFT      

Raging Thrust is expected to cross from a wide alley and lead. LAVATERA RYUJU (12) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1800m at this track. Will be hard to hold out again. RAGING THRUST (11) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.3 lengths over 2000m at this course after being in the firing line on the corner. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. BLEU MARINE CIEL (9) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason why he cannot repeat the dose. GRAB THE TOP (13) strode forward early from his wide draw over 1800m at this circuit last time, leading for much of the way before fading to finish fifth. Deserves respect.
