GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Sept Couleurs and Afro Prince prominent. CAL BAY CRUISE (3) did well to score here two runs ago then last time out finished second over 1400m at this track, beaten a head. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SEPT COULEURS (4) scored by 1.5 lengths over this distance at this track last time out. Has a very good record here including eight wins from 15 starts. Best form puts her right in this. AFRO PRINCE (5) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Put together three wins prior to the break, the latest at this track over 920m. Can continue his winning ways. MINIMAL DESIGN (11) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. Don't underestimate.
