GOING:

Race 1 1500m

Track:      

Without a recognised leader, One More Chance and Derma Sotokomata will likely set the pace. PIENA PAPRIKA (1) lines up on the back of a 2.75 lengths fourth over 1400m at this track as favourite. Has a solid record here over this trip, winning on three occasions from 17 outings. Leading player. ONE MORE CHANCE (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after being in the firing line all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ZUSSINO (8) is a six-year-old entire who is still a maiden after 81 starts but has been in the placings 17 times. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 44 lengths from the winner in eighth. Will make his presence felt. SIEG ATHLETE (7) was beaten 14 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see him in the frame.
