GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Love Curren leading the way. LOVE CURREN (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but impressed when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing a narrow second after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. METAL METALLICA (6) started at $4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NARITA AWAYUKI (9) ran above expectations and got up for second at long odds at her latest appearance at this track. Good signs last time and is capable of another bold performance. TAMBA AZUKI (10) is back from a five months spell and she does run well first-up, including a win over 1230m at this track at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
