GOING:

Race 9 900m

Track:      

The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. COSMO IMPERIUM (11) is back from a spell of ten months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1400m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. GLACE PILEE (6) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1300m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLEURS EN REVE (7) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at this track over 1300m, beaten 5 lengths. Top-three chance. ROSSAVEAL (12) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 11 lengths over 1400m at this track when in the market. Should be in the finish. Can feature with the right run.
