Mauritius Race 4 - 7 1/2f Stakes
JUST VAR (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1450m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. BOUNCEBACK (6) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on May 16 over 1365m when he got home by 0.7 lengths. Winning rider Grant Van Niekerk retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STATED (5) finished second when resuming two runs back at this track then progressed nicely last time out to score by 0.9 lengths over 990m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. RICH FOLKS HOAX (4) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when second, beaten 0.7 lengths, at this track over 1365m. Among the better chances.
