GOING:

Race 11 920m

Track:      

Gold Snow and Toho Gemma to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. FORZA F (6) was well supported when resuming last time out over 920m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by a neck. Yet to be beaten at this trip from three starts and another win looks on the cards. TOHO GEMMA (3) did a good job last start to finish third at this track over 920m. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and should be in the finish. GOLD SNOW (8) scored two back at this track but was below her best last time when fifth over 1500m here after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. NORA (5) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage eighth last time out over 1500m at this track. Better placed this time and can feature.
