GOING:

Race 9 1500m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Hatto Merrily and G T Yubi taking up the running, closely attended by Miracolo Eclat and Brave Zeus. G T YUBI (4) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by one length at today's track and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Going up a level this time but she can get the job done. HATTO MERRILY (2) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. WINDSTILLE (6) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 1.5 lengths over 1500m here last time. Will give a sight again. TANGENT ARC (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 3 when fifth at this track over 1500m after he gave away a big start. Likely improver who should be about the mark.
