    Race Analysis

    VIVA'S LIBERTE (4) was an effortless winner on debut over 6¼f at this track, scoring by 2 lengths. Nice weight drop this time around. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. BLIND DATE (3) started at 8/1 last time on the back of a win at Kenilworth two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 7½f at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back. YAMAZAKI (8) broke through for his maiden win over 7½f at this track last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths. Winning rider Juan Paul V'd Merwe sticks and he is a solid top-three hope. CARRIACOU (5) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 7½f at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
