GOING:

Race 9 1200m

Track:      

Massilia and Camarade Marie should set a strong tempo. ACROSS THE SEAS (10) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 1200m at this track last time out. Has a solid record here at this journey, including two wins. Sure to be putting in the big strides late again and can take this out. CAMARADE MARIE (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Anticipating another big run. MAGNIFIQUE BRILLER (4) improved sharply on her 12th two starts back here with success over 1000m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Racing well & cannot be underestimated. JUNE SHUTTLE (9) was below his best last time, finishing eighth over 1400m at this track. Top-three prospects.
