GOING:

Race 11 900m

Track:      

Little early speed means Terceira and Ai Yo Ivy will find themselves in leading roles. HOSPITALITE (5) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a head away in second over 1400m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Will drift back but wind up late. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. AI YO IVY (2) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SHINE DESIGN (12) is a 13-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. KOMORIUTA (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 16 lengths into eighth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
