GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Prado De La Luz and Love You Sakura can take forward positions at a moderate tempo. PRADO DE LA LUZ (10) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. He is ready now to go one better. LOVE YOU SAKURA (5) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten 4.5 lengths. Has the right credentials. HAWAIIAN PALACE (9) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, finishing ninth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is set to figure in the finish. HASHINO OJA (4) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time here over 1400m finishing eighth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
