WALTZOR (7) Goliath Du Berlais 5yo having first start for Alzbeta Faltejskova and has a good draw. L Neprasova is an advantage. Watch the market moves. MATMATAH (3) Fresh today. Ran 3rd last run around here. Can take this out. MEEKO (4) Fresh after a break. Not up to standard when 4th last time at this track. Not out of this. APEX (1) Towards the tail last time here. Is capable of a resurgence and drawn the rails. Showing improvement in recent outings. Among the major players.

Unsighted last time here. Is capable of a resurgence and has drawn to do little work. Getting better in recent performances. Will go close.

Started at $19.00 and unimpressive effort when 5th last start at the track. Likely to get back in the field. Looking elsewhere today.

5yo runner on debut by Goliath Du Berlais for trainer Alzbeta Faltejskova and can find a nice position from the draw. L Neprasova is a bonus. Watch the betting.
