GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Mocha Chan to take up the running with Francorchamps and Laciente close at hand. FRANCORCHAMPS (4) was prominent from the outset when second over 1400m at this track last time out. Has an excellent record here over this distance and is yet to miss the placings, including two wins. Leading chance. MY LOVE JACK (7) did well when resuming over 1500m at this track last start, finishing second and only beaten half a length. Has a strong record when second-up, including two wins, and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Solid winning chance in this lineup. MOCHA CHAN (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LACIENTE (8) finished fourth over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Can bounce back to winning form.
