GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

No noted leader so it looks a very modest tempo. CAMPBELL (6) finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 23. Well placed here and gets her chance to break the ice. M O DREAM (8) improved last start when she worked home well but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Can contest the finish. ARDITO CRY (2) finished eighth at this track and distance at his last appearance eight months ago. Worth plenty of thought fresh. JO NOVELISTA (4) last start finished sixth at this track over 1400m after she was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a better run here.
