GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Without a noted leader engaged Rugger Princess may cross and take it up. DAICHO SEVEN (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 7 lengths back in fifth over 1400m at this track. Sure to be prominent from the outset. NAVIGATOR (12) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 7 lengths away in seventh over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MARIA HAPPY (7) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of her ground last start when 14 lengths away in 11th over 1230m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. RUGGER PRINCESS (10) is a 35-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1400m, beaten 4 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
