GOING:

Race 10 1500m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Namura Ava to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. NAMURA AVA (4) showed good early muster and fought on well to finish second last start over 1700m at this track. Drawn to go forward again. Meets a stronger field but she is worth serious consideration. JULEP STAR (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish third over 1700m at this track. Heading the right way and gets her chance to get off the mark. SPARKING BLUE (10) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1700m after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. AMORE GREEN (7) form below par since a win three starts ago, the latest effort a disappointing 12th over 1700m at this track. Has ability and is solid top-three hope.
