Verdict

COSMOS FLAVOR (2) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 7f at this track nine months ago and has not raced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. TERRE VERT (4) broke through for her maiden win over 7f at this track last time. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she is definitely worth including. LAUREN MONT BLANC (8) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PUNA (5) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 7f at this track, finishing 15 lengths back in ninth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
