GOING:

Race 5 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo set by Atonimo Sakinimo and Flaring Arc who are both capable of leading. LOVE ME ERE (3) scored by half a length over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell last start. Has a decent record at this track and is a top chance again. FREE PASSPORT (1) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing fifth over 1700m. Well placed and can go close here. FLARING ARC (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was in contention on the turn before finishing fifth over 1700m at this track. She can bounce back. ATONIMO SAKINIMO (4) moderate effort to finish eighth last time over 1000m at this track when first up from a spell. Taking on this longer journey for the first time. Among the better chances in this line up.
