Mauritius Race 5 - 7f Stakes
FORMAGEAR (2) is the one to beat on the strength of his broader profile, with a last-start fifth over 990m looking more forgivable now he returns to a trip where he has already won at this track and distance. He also gets weight relief from that run and had won a BM71 start prior, so the recent form has enough substance. MOONLIGHT TRADER (5) has the light weight and a strong 1365m record to keep him firmly involved, especially after placing in Middle Stakes grade last time. BOUNDLESS ENERGY (1) has the classiest recent consistency, with two wins and a placing from three starts in the past 12 months, though being beaten as an odds-on favourite last time keeps him short of top billing. QUASIFORSURE (3) has an excellent overall distance record and gets weight relief, but his two latest runs were plain and he was behind FORMAGEAR at this venue a couple of weeks ago.

Resumes after a two-month break off a third at this track, beaten just under three lengths as the odds-on favourite in a 55+ race. He had won by three lengths over Bless My Path at this venue the start prior, and his record around 1365m reads strongly with three wins and two placings from five tries. The overall form is sound, but that latest market defeat leaves him more an each-way player than a clear top pick.

Drops back from a Handicap 55+ fifth over 990m, where he was near the top of betting but finished beaten just over five lengths. The more persuasive line is his start-prior BM71 win at this track, beating Royal Wulff by a head, and he returns to 1365m with a prior track-and-distance win. His record at the trip is mixed, but weight relief and a suitable set-up make him the horse they have to beat.

Has been well held at his past two, finishing last over 990m last start when beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds, after an even poorer effort behind At My Command. The return to 1365m is in his favour, with four wins and two placings from ten attempts around the trip, but he was behind Formagear a couple of weeks ago and must rediscover much stronger form.

Produced a sound third in Middle Stakes company last start, beaten just under four lengths after being an outside chance in the betting. That was a more encouraging run than his previous last of six in a BM61, and his track-and-distance record is a useful pointer with one win and one placing from three tries. The light weight is attractive, so he profiles as a genuine place chance with some upside.
