GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Strawberry Tree leading the way. STRAWBERRY TREE (8) was well in commission on debut last start and did a fair job to finish 5 lengths from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Has plenty of upside so she will be hard to beat. PEPTIDE ELEANOR (4) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at this track over 1800m, beaten 6 lengths. Watch for a much better performance this time. OCEAN STELLA (1) was fair on debut last start when sixth over 1500m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time. In the mix. CADENA BONITA (3) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at this track over 1800m, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed and deserves respect.
