GOING:

Race 1 1000m

Track:      

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. BLACKMORE (3) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. One of the leading chances. PURE JASMINE (6) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished seventh at this track over 1200m. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. HANAKANZASHI (4) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1000m at this track when resuming from a spell. Ready to go one better. GOLDEN ISLE (5) finished third last time over 1000m at this track. Will trim down second-up and is nicely placed to run well again.
