Race Overview
CITY OF GOLD (2) returned to form with a good effort last time out and could be ready to strike another victory. ZARAKIVA (5) has improved of late and will not go down without a fight for top honours. LOVEFORCE (8) is consistent and would not be a surprise winner of this race. BE A LORD (6) is unreliable but is also capable of winning in this division.
