GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Gold Lane and Bear Force One kicking up to hold out the next wave. BEAR FORCE ONE (6) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and kept going to win by a head over 1400m at this track. Sure to run well again. BIARRITZ (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Looks well placed and she is worth including. GOLD LANE (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. FLEUR DE LUNE (5) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for her and she is one of the key runners.
